    My brother-in-law (who is Gen X) wanted to charge my nephew (his stepson) rent when my nephew graduated high school. My nephew’s grandfather told my BIL “Nephew is whose name is on the house in the will. Yours is not.” Also had to remind him his kids were probably taking up more resources since they were under 16 and not working.

    Of course my BIL got married to my sister, had them move out to a farm, and got his name on her will instead of her other relatives, like her son. I didn’t go to their wedding for other reasons, but the brainworms run deep among Mayonnaise-Americans.

        [x] Doubt because my sister has gotten more reactionary as she’s gotten older.

        I blew up on her one day when she was calling George Floyd a criminal and shouldn’t have flags flown at half-staff in his honor. Honestly not sure if I’ll want to maintain a relationship with her when our mom passes away (whenever that may be).
