A woman has been called “monstrous” by her own family for asking for a larger portion of inheritance, despite being her 95-year-old grandmother’s primary caretaker.

The 32-year-old shared her experience on Reddit’s “Am I the A------” forum, explaining that she has lived with her grandmother for the past three years, providing daily care in exchange for living rent-free.

The arrangement was initially “mutually beneficial,” but circumstances changed when her grandmother suffered multiple strokes, losing her vision and mobility.

“She lost her vision completely, and her balance is also no longer great. She cannot walk to the bathroom herself, get on the toilet alone, or shower without assistance,” the woman wrote on Reddit.

She also shared that her grandmother has been given 12-14 months to live, and her mother — who lives locally — is expecting her “to take on the entirety of the care or at least the majority of the care while she plans on inheriting everything [from] my grandmother.”

The Redditor said that because of this, she has asked to inherit her deceased aunt’s home in full — which has not yet been sold and is technically supposed to be divided equally among herself, her grandmother, and her mother.

Now facing the responsibility of full-time caregiving, the woman asked to inherit her deceased aunt’s home in full.

The property, which is yet to be sold, is intended to be divided equally among her, her grandmother, and her mother.

She argued that renting out the home could fund in-home assistance, preventing caregiver burnout.

The woman added that she is not in her grandmother’s will, so her mother will eventually inherit the house that she currently lives in, along with everything inside it.

She claimed her request was met with “outrage” and accusations of being “monstrous and selfish” from her mother’s friends, who saw it as charging her mother for caring for her grandmother.

“I wouldn't ask for anything if my grandmother didn't have anything. But as [...] is I feel like I'm being very reasonable to ask for around the 5th of what my mom is set to inherit,” she concluded.

Reddit users largely supported her, emphasizing the physical and emotional toll of caregiving.

“Demanding an inheritance before someone even dies is generally an a------ move. But in context, you are not obligated to care for your grandma. Caring for a sick person is very hard work and asking for compensation is reasonable,” one commenter wrote.

Another Reddit user commented: "If your mom wants to inherit everything but refuses to share the responsibility, that’s on her. You're not ‘charging’ them; you're asking for fairness. If they don’t want to compensate you, they can step up and take care of her themselves.”

In the Philippines, caregiving for the elderly is often shouldered by family members, reflecting the country's strong cultural emphasis on filial responsibility and support for relatives.
