[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 713584, member: 17635"] Hey Tanya, Want you to know that I am with you in spirit. Those requests always come, don't they? I love this forum. Recently, i read advice for parents considering leaving money to their adult children in their wills. It was interesting. According to the writer (an attorney, supposedly, who has seen family relationships disintegrate over inheritances).... tell your kids you plan on leaving all your money to charities. You love them, but there will be no inheritance. The kids who are all, "Hey, that is so cool! You earned your money and it is your decision!" are the ones you know you can leave $$ to with no problem. Any kids who get bummed out and question your decision are the ones you know you cannot trust inheritances to; they will cause problems for everybody. What does this have to do with your post? Maybe nothing, but that greed is inherent in many of us. It is our right to give to when and where we feel comfortable. It is your money. Hugs to you. Once my mom stops enabling my 36yo, there is NO doubt in husband and my minds that he will be asking for money. No relationship for years, but we are good enough when he wants $$. [/QUOTE]
