A self-described agnostic vehemently supporting Pell is very unusual, even for a dullard like Bolt.

Bolt is just a massive troll.

How some people even manage to breathe unaided has got me ****ed. I'll use Joe Chlebik and the question he posted on YouTube as an example.

You are a deadset ****en moron Joe.

Most in the media on the far right or left are I reckon, just trying to make a career.

Other families and their dynamics. I have found out the last 5 years I have a pretty close family and that, it is quite unusual (unbeknownst to me, both unusual, how close we are and how unusual it seems to be)

My missus had a family reunion, uncles/aunties and cousins she hadn't seen in over 20 years - some she had never met (I hadn't met anyone in her family except her immediate familyand been with her for 5 years).

I just find it so hard to fathom that her dad and his siblings just rarely speak/communicate and they hadn't seen each other for 20plus years.

I guess you just presume your own family and the dynamics are normal and how everyone else lives.

Good thing it was a very friendly day and met some really good people. Missus still reckons they won't see each other for another 20 years......[emoji1745]

I have cousins on my mothers side that live within 20 minutes of me that I don’t see. Sadly it was at a funeral recently that I saw them for the first time in over 30 years.

My dads mob I rarely see - caught up with some of them for the first time this year

My husbands family live in one another’s pockets - drives me nuts

I have Three siblings that live within 10 minutes, two of whom I see only when my mother is in town and the other we message fairly regularly but rarely catch up and the other two siblings I see when I head up to see my mum

My mum and dad still won't see my aunty and uncle (the ones they had the dispute over the will with) over xmas.

And the weird thing is, they ARE civil. My cousin is undergoing pretty majorish surgery in 3 weeks and i told her that and shes like oh i must ring Helen, etc. But its still not happy families.


I'm staying out of it tho. Like "New Jersey" out as Carrie would say.

I presume a lot of family feuds are over money etc.

Yeah but with my family its the first real "fight"- never had one issue, nada, nothing got along like a house on fire.

Very sad.

Do you know how much they were/are squabbling over in the will?

Wasnt really over "money" per say- little more complicated.

Dad, Aunty inherited Yia yias house.
All agreed to sell.
Cousins came into it- said they wanted to buy and build townhouses (of course they expected a good price)
Dad said fk off, you can bid at auction like everyone else
They said fk you too
They all said fk you

And it went to auction and now no one is speaking.

 

[Shell]

FWIW i am firmly on my dad's side on this one.

 

[FRUMPY]

Yeah need to put up a good offer for the others to sell their share of it to them - tight asses who would then turn into plenty of money with the townhouses.

Bloke I know just sold their mum's house after she passed away - he said they did alright - looked up the results, just a cool $1.5m to split between the three of them

Yeah exactly. My cuz assumed my dad would just sell it to him/them (was a few of my cousins doing it) for a bargain basement price.

Er no, sorry doesnt work like that.

 

[edgie]

My family aren't really emotionally close. We enjoy each other's company most of the time but if I have serious shit I need to talk about with someone I'll go to a friend or even a stranger on the internet first.

I'm fine with that and I think they are too.

Nan though. She's an old troublemaker. I always get along with her but she fishes for gossip and likes to start drama by twisting people's words, mostly with my parents. Mum has nothing nice to say about her. I haven't visited her in two years. She hasn't even met her great granddaughter. Dad's ok with it though, he understands. I don't know how my Aunt and cousins would feel though as they are a bit closer since she never interfered in their lives as much.

Totally agree

So when it’s the cousins turn to inherit any property they will sell it to other family members for a bargain basement price? Lol.

I’m also on your Dads side.

 

[Billy ray]

Are these cousins customers of crico? Not very smart when it comes to money matters

If my family was like loaded af and the money didnt matter, i would be more on the cousins side.

But we are not loaded af.

 

[Perth gal]

I’m not on your cousins side at all. The property was left to your Dad and your Aunty. End of. It’s not anyone’s else’s call but theirs.
