Taken from real life. “My brother demands that our parents write a will in his favor”: He was the one who paid for the renovation

My brother has always been forward-looking, but this time he outdid himself.

He started demanding that our parents immediately draw up a will in his favor. You see, he is a philanthropist, he paid for the renovation of our parents' apartment.

He thinks it would be unfair for him to share the apartment with me later. Our parents are not even sixty yet, and my brother is already determined to share the inheritance. Although I'm not really surprised – he's always done everything with the long-term in mind.

My brother is now thirty-two, and I'm twenty-nine. Both my brother and I live separately from our parents. I already have a husband and a child, but my brother still lives alone, which is not surprising, considering his personality.

Girls don't like misers, and my brother is just like that. I learned from childhood that asking my brother for something is futile. He never gave me anything, and if my parents tried to embarrass him and force him to share, he would immediately start crying, as if they were taking away his last share. That's why it was impossible to play with him – he didn't share his own, and he quickly stole other people's things and only gave them back after adults intervened.

Because of his constant greed, we didn't develop close family relationships. I tried not to bother him at all, so there would be fewer complaints. Sometimes I would go to his room to call him for dinner, and then spend two days proving that I hadn't taken his keychain, which was there when I came in. My parents tried to treat my brother's whims with humor. My father predicted he would become a warrant officer, and my mother said he should join some regulatory body.

I, on the other hand, sincerely believed that my brother needed to be treated in a specialized institution. Over the years, my brother's deviations have not disappeared. Even at my wedding, which I personally allowed him to attend without a gift, he did not go. According to the official version, he was sick, but in reality he did not want to spend money on a gift. He knew that even if I allowed him not to give me anything, it would look strange, and my parents would probably not understand it. So he chose the easiest option – not to show up at all.

Oh, if you're worried now that the guy simply had no money and I'm spewing venom here, you're wrong. My brother always has money. His miserly soul would not rest if his inviolable fund were to be diminished even a little.

He is always very reluctant to spend money. It took him two years to even buy a car, even though he had the money for it. Last year, my brother suddenly became generous and decided to pay for the renovation of my parents' apartment. It looked as if he had built them a three-story palace, rather than just financed cosmetic repairs. My husband and I installed heating and glazed the loggia in our parents' summer house and didn't hold any press conferences about it.

We just did it, and my brother showed off his “gift.” He wrote posts on all social media about how important it is to help your parents, not forget about them, be grateful, and other blah, blah, blah. And then every holiday he reminded me that he paid for all this beauty. My son, when he was just getting used to the potty, would do his business and then carry the potty around to show everyone what a good boy he was. My brother was similar, but that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that my brother recently told my parents that they should make a will. Because anything can happen in life, so it's better to be prepared. My parents were shocked by this request, and I didn't hide my emotions and said that my brother had completely lost his mind. Mom and dad aren't even sixty yet, and he's talking about a will.

“He's a normal person, right?” “A person can die at any moment, unfortunately, that's a fact. And I don't want to sue you for the inheritance later,” my brother said. And what's there to sue for? Everything will be divided in half, and then we'll come to an agreement. But my brother is not happy with this option.

“Yes, I pay for repairs here, I spend a lot of money, and you tell me about “half”! Although you haven't invested a penny!” – shouted the brother, outraged by this approach. Even the parents were moved. The father asked if the son wanted the money back, because he was so worried that he forgot about his will. The brother felt offended. He said that he helped his parents with all his heart, but it would be nice to have a will.

I am shocked by his simplicity. With this approach to life, he won't live to see retirement, because his greed will kill him first.
