Today, at my grandmother's funeral there was a fight about inheritance. It was my teenage daughters arguing about what they get when I die. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was at the reading of my grandma's will. Apparently I was removed from it some time ago, and the £2,500 I would have gotten went to my cheating bitch of an ex-fiancée. It seems my grandma adored her, and never forgave me for "driving her away" from the family. FML
Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML
Today, I mentioned on Facebook that I'll be out of town over the weekend, because I am attending my grandmother's funeral. I soon got comments saying "Pics or it didn't happen" and "Killed her for the inheritance, eh?" followed by a solitary "LOLLL". FML
Today, my grandmother tried to start a fist-fight with my wife during my wedding ceremony. FML
Today, my grandkids went around my house claiming items to inherit. FML
Today, I had to call the cops to break up a fistfight at my mother's funeral. It turns out my two brothers care more about having a pissing match over their favorite football teams than they do honoring our mother's memory. FML
Today, after my cousin recently died, my aunt basically told me that I shouldn't be sad, because we fought. FML
Today, at the end of my great grandmother's funeral, her daughter (my grandma) told me and my mother that she doesn’t have a reason to come back and visit anymore, and that everyone in her life is now gone. FML
Today, at the reading of my mother's last will and testament, I found out that despite having cared for her for the final years of her life, she denied me an inheritance. She basically said I'm an embarrassment, because when she wrote it, I was 31 years-old, with no wife or children. FML
Today, my granny died. My aunt wants to throw away all her books and furniture. When I offered to take care of selling it, or giving it away, like granny would have wanted, my aunt said she would let me "keep a percentage" of the few bucks I’d get for my troubles. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

There has been a lot of sore feelings on this topic in my family. There are experts on the topic and if you have any assets at all, you should consult a legal expert who specializes in this kind of thing. Tell them what your intent is and then ask for several courses of action and the pro and cons of each. If you don't, you run the risk of creating problems you can't imagine when you're gone. Not to mention, you might want to ensure that your wishes are carried out, not someone else's. Just saying...

I clicked YDI, cause if you haven't managed to teach your kids the manners to behave at a funeral of all places and to value possessions above the death of their grandmother, then you deserve to have them show you up.

Just because parents teach their kids things doesn't mean they'll actually do that. I've been taught to be thankful for the stuff I have but, sadly, I'm a bit materialistic. I'm sure you turned out exactly like your parents wanted.

In hindsight I could have worded that more clearly. One gets jack, the other gets shit.

If I was their mother I don't even know how I'd handle that situation! I know I'd be pissed, at least. Sorry to hear of this, OP.
