A Grudge, a Golden Anniversary, and a Skid Loader: Where Do We Go From Here?
In a tale that’s as much about family bonds as it is about financial disputes, we find ourselves at the heart of a decade-long grudge. Contractor Carl, still seething from the loss of his skid loader in an accident 10 years ago, refuses to let bygones be bygones. As the family plans a golden anniversary celebration for the parents, the grudge resurfaces, threatening to overshadow the joyous occasion. Will the family find a way to reconcile, or will the shadow of the past continue to darken their present? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…

“YTA Why would he need to ‘get over it’ when your dad and brother haven’t paid him back? Ridiculous.”

“YTA. They stole and destroyed his stuff and refused to pay. Not even offering instalments over time. It’s easy to say get over it to the one who was wronged. You’re saying it was 10 years ago so he should be over it by now but from his perspective that’s 10 years they’ve had to make it right and not tried. You’re calling him an a** for putting money in the way of a family relationship but isn’t that exactly what your dad and brother were doing when they took his stuff knowing he said no rather than spend money to lease it from somewhere and then never even paid him back after wrecking it? And you expect him to spend more sending your parents on a cruise? You are being unreasonable and unrealistic and didn’t even have to insert your opinion in the first place, it’s only made things worse.” – Emotional family feud
