I spent every Sunday at my parents’ house for 10 years while my sister didn’t lift a finger — shouldn’t I receive compensation?
My mom broke her hip about 10 years ago. At the time, I decided to visit my parents’ house twice a week to help out with shopping, errands and cook dinner, etc.
At the party, my sister asked if I was going to visit our parents the following Monday. I told her I would visit if she would pick me up on her way to our parents’ house.I began to question whether my sister valued my contribution. I hadn’t asked her for anything during the four years. I just assumed that at some point she would reciprocate in some way. She had a young family and I’m single, so I never asked for or expected things to be split 50/50.
Our father took out a reverse mortgage to cover our mom’s 24/7 in-home care. I was concerned that the funds would run out before our mom passed away, so I asked my sister if she could save a couple hundred dollars a month in case the funds were exhausted. She replied with, “No, I have a family. I have to save for college!” ‘Two years ago, my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I told my sister if I moved in I would like some compensation from the inheritance.
Even though my sister uses the “I have a family” excuse with me, it hasn’t stopped her from selling houses on the weekends and during the week when my nieces are in school.It’s a tricky question. The most important relationship here is between you and your father. Your sister can treat you any way you want, but any care-giving arrangement should be discussed with your father and his lawyer.
