It absolutely sickens me,, the children who feel they have to inherit from parents. Kids grow up and (usually) have contributed very little, monetary wise, to their parents. When my mum died, my younger sister was always on the phone to dad,,,, Usually it went along the lines of "Grandma says I should have this, I should have that etc, etc. I paid her a visit and told her in no uncertain terms to leave dad alone. Stop bothering him with phone calls. As things are, dad re-married and I'm happy for him. What he does with his money, personal stuff, in his will, (when he eventually shuffles off this mortal coil) is between him and his solicitor. I know dad helped me a lot when I started in my chosen profession (student nurses don't actually get paid as such) I'll admit I was quite dependant upon my parents in my early years, even though money was "tight". If my dad leaves me nothing in his will, I'd still be happy that he (and mum) helped me out. I do help my dad as often as I can, doing odd jobs for him and my step mum (taking them both shopping and out on day trips, cook meals for them etc) We should all be grateful for what we actually have, instead of looking forward to what we think we should inherit. (or believe we are entitled to)
