[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 23:50 - I truly don't get the response to "grow up." I would be hurt while my parents are alive if they gave some big lump sum of money to my brother and nothing to me. Or if they said they planned to leave 2/3rds of their estate to my brother and 1/3rd to me. They would never do that. But that is what it amounts to if one leaves her estate to be divided among her grandchildren, assuming her children did not have the same number of children. I am not talking about nickel and diming whether they give a nicer birthday present to one kid. Inheritence should be divided evenly among one's children unless you want to cause a lot of future family rifts. [/quote]

Inheritances should be taxed 99% just because of people like you.

Read my lips: Not your money. There is no entitlement here. There is only your parents failing to spend everything they ever saved as they should have, and deciding for their own completely not your business reasons who they want to have it after they die.[/quote]

You sound fairly brutal. Most people are more sensitive, including the PP you are ripping a new one. Families are connected to each other. If you want a "totally MYOB" reason for doing things then don't have a family. I hope it's not too late for you to make that choice.

Most healthy parents enjoy giving to their children. I know I do.[/quote]

Then do it while you are alive. As you can plainly read on this thread, inheritances simply cause hurt and anger. For every kid who thinks the money should be divided equally this way, there is another who thinks it should be divided differently that way.

It's a crappy thing to do to your kids, frankly. [/quote]
