Why are families such a pain in arse.

[Boomerang]

10 plus years ago my sisters then partner who she married in secret 2 weeks ago gave our father a pillar drill an old thing he scavanged off a disused barn, been in the workshop ever since.
Yesterday theyboth came to collect a garden shed. But also took pilar drill. Said norhing just took it. Father rang him asked where it is reply 8ve got it ..
Marries into family then takes what he wants .
Scumbag.

I don't see how somebody collecting their pillar drill makes them a scumbag

 

[No wot]

I bet someone reads this and thinks " you lucky burger" that happened to me too , except it was half the family farm , I'd count your blessings

Start preparing , get some professional advice it may be the cheapest money you spend longterm

It sounds like a very simple mis-understanding and/or memory warped by the decade passing.
You make out it was not worth much as 'scavenged' and has been in the workshop ever since.

They may have only meant you can have it, while I don't need it.
I assume there must be much more to the situation to cause such angst over something which I would consider insignificant.

I think you really need to build relations with your sister.

Same old same old , they do as they wish whilst others behave decently.
Folk have a warped sense of right ,wrong ,acceptable behaviour.

As someone else has said, start preparing now for the inevitable.

I trusted a parent to do the right thing when push came to shove, especially when they assured me many times that they would.

But they didn't and I paid the price.

Buy a new piller drill with some good drill bits and dont mention it!

 

[Boomerang]

Nope not at all.
When she sits at kitchen table after our mother's passing and DEMANDED to know if our father wants her to have her half ,when he's still alive it's not her right
she knows full well his will state all to be split equally.
She has attempted twice to get him to change his will and give her specifics in the will so it's hers.
It's not easy to do that or practical and his wish is to sell and split it.

 

[Boomerang]

Don't care about the drill it the way it was done and the principles behind it.

They could be looking for a fight. They must be agrived before they are stirring it.

Stay cool, don’t let it get to you. Roll with it, at least until push becomes shove but don’t lose all perspective. . . .it’s £50 your brother in law borrowed back off you.

Buy your dad a new pillar drill, become the preferred offspring, and stop whining about a pillar drill that was old when it was scavenged 10 years ago.
