To be angry that my DM rents???

I will never inherit anything at all, not even a nice vase or a bit of jewellery, let alone a house. I literally have no family other than my son who is disabled and I live in a rented council flat. When I die my son will be penniless and entirely on his own. God knows what will happen to him. The worry of it makes me ill, although I can't share that with him obviously. I never in my worst nightmares thought my life would turn out this way. OP, assuming you and your children are healthy, please be thankful for that.

Oh grow up. Who told you life was fair? Make your own way.

You are going to mess your kids up if you can’t get past this anger and jealousy.

I will have zero inheritance. I can’t say it’s ever bothered me. Life is so unfair in many ways- there are far more unfair things than no inheritance. I’m also pretty proud that I have never depended on anyone.

My parents recently died within a year of each other. I’ve inherited a house valued at over £1 million. Before you get all green with envy you can read my thread about my abusive father and the childhood I had.

I know you will never believe that I’d rather having loving parents who rented instead of the ones I had who owned a home and conspired to ensure me and siblings went through hell growing up. But it’s true. One sibling is dead, one an alcoholic and one has severe MH issues and this is all due to awful parenting. The impact of our childhoods will last a lifetime and no amount of money can compensate for it.

If you think the most important thing you can inherit from your parents is money you are deluded. The most important thing they can leave behind is the memory of a happy, secure childhood.

Did your parents never tell you live isn't fair? You want your mom to own so you get money when she is gone. That is some terrible thinking.

Do you own your own house?

Why are you not putting as much effort into finding ways to sort our your own problems instead of harping on about how you'll never receive inheritance from your mum.

I won’t inherit anything and it never once occurred to me to whine about it lol DH likely will inherit a fairly small amount of £25K assuming his Ddad doesn’t need a care home.

I grew up really poor so always saw it as my responsibility to get on and make financial stability for myself and my family.
get up off your arse and work harder! There will always be someone who has it easier than you and someone who has it harder 🤷🏻‍♀️

At least you have your health, @OP !

Honestly, were you looking for sympathy? I have one dead parent, one terminally ill one, a dying best friend and fertility problems. According to you, I have all the luck. My husband had major childhood trauma, the kind of thing you read about in the newspaper and wonder how a person copes, but according to you he’s lucky and privileged. I’d give all the money I have in the world to save my friend, but it doesn’t work like that because LIFE ISN’T FAIR.

Cannot believe how self-centred you are. I recently lost my dad. I would give anything to have him back and don't feel entitled to anything. You have a terrible attitude.

I’ve always known I won’t inherit. DH was so poor as a child he was malnourished but filled up on cheap carbohydrates and was grateful for it.

The world is full of joy and suffering.

We all end up dead. Make the most of what you have achieved.

Don’t set your children up with the mindset that comparing themselves to others will ever bring them happiness.

We could all end up in World War 3 shortly. Many souls have lost their lives in the recent earthquakes. People trafficking and slavery is rife. This is the reality of the world we live in. Your bubble is a cushy one compared to many.

What are your jobs? Have you seen the world and travelled? Have you come into contact with others far less fortunate than yourself in your professional or personal life?

I’m not sure OPmeans to be disdainful about her mum- maybe just frustrated that the situation is that her mum has only been able to rent and then inequalities of wealth are more likely to pass on down generations. In which case I get your point. Other things in life are frustrating too as others have said but I can see that this might be one of them. I don’t think it equates to wishing your mum had died!

My mother owns 2 properties, I don’t anticipate inheriting anything from her and I very much doubt my children will either. I expect it all to go to her 2 favourite children neither of whom have children themselves.

TBH I’m a bit frustrated that she won’t sell one of those properties now as it would give her a very comfortable final few years but it’s up to her.

Donkeys are lovely animals.

This, absolutely.
My life has not been remotely 'fair' (CSA, disability, poverty) but it is what it is.
I make the small improvements I can, then seem to go 3 steps backwards!
But, the only choice is to count the blessings you do have, or become bitter.

Your post is dripping in self pity and disdain for your poor mother. Get a grip. I won't inherit anything either. I also rent as I have struggled to get on the property ladder. I hope my DD doesn't have the same disgusting attitude you have. No-one is guaranteed to inherit - particularly if the parents need full time care.

Life is unfair. You can always find people who are better off than you and others who are worse off. Even people who claim they have made their own 'luck' through hard work or sacrifice are denying their privilege to be able to do that. Inherited wealth, social status, good health, intelligence, positive role models are all factors that affect our outcomes.

If you believe in a religion you can blame your god.

“Life is so unfair to me, I work hard while some people have inherit wealth.”

Meanwhile; mothers in Gaza are picking out the bodies of their children from the wreckage that was once a hospital.

Oh grow up, OP. Nobody has a right to inherit anything. Even if your mother owned a property, it could very well be used to fund care home fees.

We could all be grumpy that we're not millionaires, but be reasonable. Go out there and make your own money, if you're so bothered, otherwise just appreciate the life you have.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

This a bait. I think this can't be real tbh. I'm reporting it.
