Hi everyone, about 6 months ago I posted about the fact my dad said he wanted to buy me a flat with the massive inheritance he received from his father. The overwhelming response from mumsnetters was to accept but I have felt a lot of uncertainty around it.
Just for a bit of background I wasnt close to my grandfather. He had a fairly tragic start to his life that I wont go into. I think in the end he felt bad that we never really had a relationship and gave the majority of his inheritance to my father with the understanding that I would see some of it.
Today my dad brought this up, saying 'it doesn't have to an amazing flat that you buy, but at least something simple you can do up'. What does that mean exactly? I would much prefer that he simply gives me a fixed sum of the inheritance that he thinks I should have. Then I can get on with looking without him becoming a big part of the process and possibly wanting a say in what I go for.
Do you think that seems like a fair request?
