[quote=Anonymous]My parents have lived their lives for their kids. My siblings and I are well off in our rights, thanks to the all the sacrifices our parents made for us.

My dad made his will many years ago and gave each one of us copy. Equally distributed among the offsprings.

During the past years they have helped one of my siblings with monetary loans - their stipulation is that this principal amount will be deducted when the final division happens.

None of us wants them to leave us anything. We want them to enjoy their money. We have also told them that if one of our siblings is in more need then they should think about giving that sibling our share as well.

We have never kept a tab on what they give to each grandchild, because each of the grandkids is unique and into different things.  It is there money to give, and their relationship with their kids and grandkids.

They gave us life, a great childhood, an education, paid for our weddings, supported us in our careers, helped when our babies were born. We are already too much in their debt and cannot ever repay them. Why do they need to do anything for us?  We are just grateful that we are able to care for them in their old age.

BTW - my parents have taken care of their retirement etc as well and are not dependant on any one of us monetarily. This is a lesson I will always carry with me. Not to be dependant on my kids in my old age for money.
