The folks who make most song and dance about wanting an inheritance, I find, are not necessarily those who're scratching for every penny, but those who're doing well but feel they deserve a bit more,

There are some gems/words of wisdom in this thread !!

This has got to be the most interesting thread that i have every read on here. I have discussed it at work and at home and I am glad to say that both mine and my o/h parents will not have anything to leave us and for that we are gratefull. Gratefull in so much as that we can say that we have done it all ourselves. I hope that the op is still reading these threads and that she stop worrying about her children and about money because quite frankly there is so much more to life than money.

Haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if this has already appeared, but

Hardly rocket-science is it? The "profit" you're making out of your property is coming out of your kids' pockets... eventually. And what do you have to look forward to - your grand-children wishing you were dead perhaps?

Still discussing house price increases at dinner parties..?

Having read all the posts, are people honestly saying they wouldn't be a bit...'peeved' if their mum left everything to their brother/sister and nothing to them? Not so much the money, but that they didn't think of you.

Last month was my 30th b'day - a special one, as I didn't get an 18 or 21 party. My dad is skint, so sent me just a card - fair enough, 5 days later is my brothers b'day, again just a card...then comes my daughter's and my nephews b'days - just cards. However I was told in passing that my brother's girlfriend - whom my dad has met about 4 times, and whose b'day is a week before mine, was sent £10. Now should I think - 'it's his money, he should do as he wishes with it'? Is there anyone here who REALLY wouldn't be hurt by this (yes I know it's only a tenner!)

Am I the only one here who would be bothered...(I've got over it now and I am moving on, just needed to rant)

You're missing the point! OP was wishing her in laws would go early so she could have first dibs on their money - not worrying about who's given what for their birthday...

It's annoying to be treated differently to your siblings etc but it's another thing entirely to be preying on the parent's inheritance!

I think I'm missing something azjh - I haven't read anything along those lines and I'm wondering where that's come from?

I hope you had a fantastic birthday btw - congratulations!

:bdaycake:

It was just that everyone is saying - "It's Mum/dad/nan's money, if she wants to leave it to the cat's home it's up to her. I won't mind, you shouldn't expect anything from anyone" I think most people probably would mind a little bit....

And thank you Tiger, I had a lovely birthday!

Timmne, Didn't see you there sorry.

I'm sure she isn't wishing them dead, in fact she's probably wishing she hadn't started this thread!

I'm pleased you had a good day, everyone should have great birthdays!

I see what you mean now - that's really not what everyone's objecting to I think you may have got the wrong end of the stick

The OP posted along the lines that she feels her children should be entitled to her husband's brother's share of their parents inheritance, because he hasn't got children of his own.

God forbid her kids should have to work for a living to buy their own houses like everyone else, or that she should have to provide for them now that she's almost mortgage free herself

There's obviously more to it (15 pages and climbing!) but that's the gist of it!
