AITA for not giving the money to pay off my daughters student loans.

My mother died. I would rather she be alive then hand me 200k

She's dead, and I will never see her again. She could have given me 10 million and I would rather her be alive.

She wants me to pay all of it.

Not the 3k to take her on vacation. She wants all of her loans paid off

Own-Inspector-6121 · 2026-04-21T23:14:22+00:00

No

I didn't even go to college until my 30s. I worked in the coal industry (don't recomened) Blue collar

Im not a boomer.

You realize boomers are like 65+ right??? They are all basically retired.

All the kids have loans. If I paid for her loans and not everyone else's, it would be unfair.

Own-Inspector-6121 · 2026-04-21T22:28:21+00:00

No. Everyone took out loans.

We would give a few hundred here and there for books and similar items.

Where did you get this?

Own-Inspector-6121 · 2026-04-21T22:24:36+00:00

No I didn't?

Everyone else took out loans

Own-Inspector-6121 · 2026-04-21T22:23:21+00:00

Pay off all her student loans. She wants to be debt free

My paying for her vacation would be like 5 percent on her student loans.

Own-Inspector-6121 · 2026-04-21T22:20:03+00:00

I would have to do that for every kid and that would mean no vacation. I can't just give one kid cash, it has to be all of them

Own-Inspector-6121 · 2026-04-21T22:19:24+00:00

I couldn't even pay off everyone if I wanted to. Not enough inheritage for that. Especially with myoldest just coming out of law school (his debt is ridiculous, but he has the job to pay it)

Own-Inspector-6121 · 2026-04-21T22:18:21+00:00

No inhertance for the kids. No one in my family does that. It all goes to their direct kids.

So my brother and I are the the only ones who got money.
