'Round here, whenever I bring up something genuinely interesting, my parents' reaction is 'only if you want off the will.' Firearms, motorcycles, skydiving... I'm lucky that I never brought up rollercoasters when they were feeling pissy.


So be it. :rolleyes:

I'd just live my life like I wanted and cheerfully say that it was okay to cut me from the will, as I loved them- and not their material posessions.

They can't own your life unless you let them (or are still a minor).
 
There are folks that share the same last name as I, naturally the sister's changed when she married.

Now the person that sired me and 3 others, spent 35 yrs in the Nat'l Guard, He sired another boy when I was 21- that one stole and sold all the guns for dope - including MY first Revolver.

I paid for the CCW class and license for a brother. I found him a heckuva deal on a Security Six. He never sent in the paper work, used the license money toward getting his home A/C fixed. All his FILs guns ( passed now) the Security Six and the 870 I bought him...are in a safe. "Someday" he says he will show his kids the guns Grandpa left to them...one is 12 the other 7 - they have not seen these yet. Have not been out plinking. Only Saving thought is - the SIL and the nephew do play paintball together...

The fella that sired me, had an incident not long ago - "911 took forever ...we were all afraid..."

Now back in the Fall of '04 an incident occured over at our mom's, that mom of my other nieces and nephews...well I had a talk with kids when the BG came into the yard. I handled the situation.

These folks walked away from me - I tried, I spent monies and time. Not to mention I did NOT raise them to be stupid.

I don't have time for stupid people. I don't care if they are by definition "family" - they made the choices - not me.

Oh they have called when things needed an answer. I got burned - more than once "doing the right thing" in the past...somehow I am the one they blamed...and treated wrong...

I walked away. I made an exception being as who they were "supposed" to be.

"Nobody believes anything will happen to them - folks always think it will be the "other guy". One has to hit their own bottom, sometimes it is another person that hits this bottom that changes minds, sometimes it is not - and that person is dead.

Dead is forever.

Now I have said my piece, I raised you folks, and in the case of the "dad" you were raised better, trained better, disciplined better for 35 years. Something happens , and you don't end up dead - don't call me. You will have to either remember what learned and shared either by Uncle Sam, or as I raised you.

I'd rather use my energies assisting folks taking responsiblilties for themselves, and folks dear to them.

I ain't got time for stupid people."
