Okay so it's not MY inheritance but it is my mum's. Cut to the chase, my mum is receiving around £40k from my grandad's estate (my auntie is getting the same amount) and my mum has made it very clear she wants to give me some and I have no idea what her thoughts are in regards to the amount but she kept asking me earlier over and over how much would I 'expect'. I eventually caved and gave her a figure even tho I was very uncomfortable to do so, and she said well that's not the number I thought meaning I had asked for too much. I'm now sat here humiliated wishing I hadn't caved in and I can't stop thinking about it as I'm so embarrassed thinking it was totally unreasonable. Out of interest, what would you like/want if your parent was to ask u this? Just not to drop feed she isn't rich or even comfortable, she gets by with zero debts and mortgage paid off but still works full time (she's 63) and this is the biggest amount of money she's ever received so it's new for her to have this amount.
