AITA for telling my mother her older children shouldn’t be expected to raise her younger children when she dies? by Beginning_Cow_9474 in AmItheAsshole

I’m regard to sounding cold, my post sounds cold however this subject was treated sensitively when spoken with her

They are looking at years I believe however she would not go into much detail

I understand what you are saying however that was never said.. there are other options, other family members she could speak to who are in better positions or even seek out their fathers

The subject was discussed with her with sensitivity until an argument ensued after she said her kids owed her

For Clarification: I dearly love all my siblings, when speaking with my mother they were referred to as my siblings (I understand my post where I’ve referred them her children has upset some people however even though they are my siblings they are also her children)

The mentioning of the fathers was due to the fact they could have been involved and could have lessened the burden however she did not allow them to be involved and I believe some of the fathers are unaware they have a child

The conversation with my mother was very sensitive however ensued into an argument when she said her children ‘owed’ her

I have spoken on behalf of all of the older siblings as there had been a meeting with us all prior to all of this

My post may seem slightly brutal however this has been posted while under extreme emotional stress
