З життя
Мої сестри вимагають поділу спадщини, але я відмовляюся.
Мої сестри вимагають поділу спадщини, а я цього не зроблю.
Нещодавно я успадкувала двокімнатну квартиру в Києві від своєї одинокої тітки. Заповіт був написаний на моє ім’я, але мої сестри не погоджуються з цим і теж хочуть свою частку.
Я не згодна з цим.
Моя тітка згадала мене у заповіті, тому що ніхто інший з родини не хотів їй допомагати в останні роки життя, я про це вже казала.
Я не очікувала, що квартира дістанеться мені. Але якщо вже так сталося, я не збираюся відмовлятися від спадщини.
Коли мої дві сестри дізналися про це, дуже розізлилися і почали вимагати “справедливості”.
Усі ми живемо в одному місті, умови життя різні, але всім тісно. Я маю двокімнатну квартиру у будинку на околиці Києва разом із сином.
Старша сестра з чоловіком та двійнятами має лише дві кімнати, а молодша, з двома доньками, має одну квартиру в новобудові.
Мої сестри вважають, що я повинна продати свою квартиру у Києві і поділитися грішми порівну, тоді кожна з нас зможе збільшити свої квадратні метри.
Але в мене інші плани: хочу зробити невеликий ремонт у своїй новій київській квартирі й здавати її в оренду. Для мене це чудове джерело додаткового доходу, яке порівняне з моєю основною зарплатою.
Сестри наполягають, що ми всі найближча родина і повинні допомагати одна одній. Але лише я сплачувала за догляд за тіткою, хоча це було дорого, а сама не маю багато грошей.
Так, це важко для них. Але чому, не зрушивши з місця, мої сестри хочуть полегшити собі життя за мій рахунок?
Ми сперечаємося про це вже кілька тижнів. Слухаю, як вони говорять, що я не маю совісті. Але свою думку я не зміню.
А що б ви зробили на моєму місці?

You Steal from My Son—He Can’t Even Afford a Lightbulb! On Sunday morning, I was tucked under a blanket on the sofa. My husband had gone to visit his mum to “change the lightbulbs,” but of course, the real reason for calling her darling son over was something else entirely: “Son, did you forget that Igor’s birthday is today?” My husband is a real spendthrift. His salary barely lasts a few days. Thankfully, he gives me enough to cover the bills and groceries, but the rest goes on the latest video games and everything that goes with them. I don’t mind, really—I’d rather let him enjoy his hobbies than have him drinking in the shed or disappearing off to nightclubs. Besides, I once read that the first forty years of childhood are the hardest for a man. But I’m not telling you all this for sympathy. I’m explaining why my husband’s pockets are always empty! I don’t have those problems; I even manage to save a little, and often lend my husband money when he’s desperate—but never for his mum, his nieces, or his sister. Of course, I remembered Igor’s birthday, so I bought him a present a week ago. Before my husband headed over to the family, I handed him the gift and settled down to watch a film. I didn’t go—there’s no love lost between me and the in-laws. They think I don’t love him because I won’t let him spend our money on them or babysit his sister’s kids. Once, I agreed to watch his sister’s little ones for an hour, but they picked them up half a day later! I was late for work, and when I dared to complain, his mum and sister called me shameless and rude. After that, I refused every request for babysitting, though I never minded my husband spending time with the kids—honestly, I liked playing with them too. Not long after my husband left, the whole family turned up at our house, nieces in tow. His mum marched straight in and declared: “We’ve decided that since it’s Igor’s birthday, we’ll give him a tablet he picked out himself—worth £400. You owe me £200 for your share. So, pay up.” I might buy the boy a tablet, but never such an expensive one. Naturally, I refused to hand over any money. Even my husband started having a go at me for being greedy. So, I opened the laptop, called Igor over, and within five minutes, we’d chosen a gadget together that he really liked. He raced off to his mother, who was still sulking in the hallway. My sister-in-law always seems to have sticky fingers—something valuable tends to “stick” to them. My mother-in-law, needless to say, wasn’t impressed and immediately kicked off: “No one asked you to do that! You were supposed to give us the money. My son can’t even buy a lightbulb for himself—give me £200 now! You know that’s my son’s money.” She even tried rummaging through my handbag, which was on the nightstand. I shot my husband a look and hissed, “You have three minutes to get them out of this house!” So my husband dragged his mother out the door—three minutes was all he needed. And honestly, I’d much rather my husband spends his money on games than have his mum pocket the lot. Better he spends it on what makes him happy, than let those freeloaders nick it from him. Sitting here now, I think—maybe I should have married an orphan!
Youre robbing my son, he cant even afford a light bulb! Sunday morning. I lay wrapped up on the sofa,...
