Re: weirdest thing your family have done recently

[(Anonymous)]

This happened after telling a funny story to my mom about my coworker's rent-a-kid business idea.*

Me: Hey, I could make Grandma-I-Never-See really happy by convincing her I've reproduced!
Mom: That still won't get you an inheritance!
Me: ...what? You know this is all a joke, right? (Grandma knows I'm single and queer and adamantly childfree, even if she's baby rabid).
Mom: It doesn't matter, you're not getting an inheritance because we're going to make sure it's all spent! (I'm not sure who "we" are in this context - my mom and her siblings, maybe?)
Me: ...if she wants to spend HER OWN money, that's her decision (and one I support, honestly)
Mom: OK, but you need to know we're not giving you anything!

What makes this really fucked up? We're poor. None of us has extra cash, no one owns any property, and Grandma is the tenacious type who'll probably outlive a few of her grandkids. In fact, I earn more than both my parents combined. I'm doing pretty okay, I don't need their money.

*The rent-a-kid business: childless/childfree adults borrow kids who look like them for "family pictures" to send to breed-happy relatives who won't take "no kids" for an answer. Yeah, not the sort of thing that's ever going to happen in reality because creepy.

Weird. Having kids as part of an inheritance scheme seems convoluted, at best.

On a similar note, I come from a family with no money. Sometimes my mom jokingly threatens to cut me out of the will. I roll my eyes and reply with "Oh no, what will I do without that $50."

On the upside, at least everyone knows no one is sucking up for the sake of a non-existent inheritance. :)
