I grew up in the boat of not ever expecting any type of inheritance. Then my dad remarried and it is a thing, and that discussion that makes me really uncomfortable. I am in the first camp. I don’t feel any sense of ownership or entitlement to that money.

She wants to go on a fancy trip to Bali? Good for her.

New car? Awesome.

He raised me, that was his responsibility. He did a great job and that’s all I needed.

I am sure there will be something left but I’m not hedging all of my bets on it. Work bonus stays with me, though.

I’m sorry if this is worded weirdly; my dad passed away two years ago and I am still getting used to the past tense.

Even on a man, nice nipples are the piece of the pie.

I think you’re onto something here.

My mom’s Highlander does the same thing so I think this is just a thing.

36/m US. I learned to drive a manual when I was 18. I prefer it now to automatic and even more fun in a little econo shit box. I rented a Kia Picanto in the U.K. and had the time of my life.

Teach her! It will be fun and won’t start any fights. I promise.

In all seriousness, if you do teach her just encourage her to go off of feeling, that’s what helped me. If you feel it ‘lugging’ put your foot on the clutch and shift down.

My dad’s instructions for clutch and gas at the same time did not help and contributed to me having to replace the clutch after a year of ownership.
