[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked for  50+!years to support myself until I died, and raise my kid.

Now that they are grown, they face the same obligation/responsibility I did.

My job with supporting then is OVER. It is selfish/spoiled and entitled to think a non-disabled adult deserves some share of the hard earned savings of their parents. [/quote]

"Hard-earned savings' are one thing. Money that fell into their laps, 'hard-earned' or not by their relatives, that they're hoarding like they're going to live to 300 is another. 
But you do you. But don't complain when your grown up child who you kicked out of the house and forgot about won't be willing to show up for you when you get old and sick. [/quote]

Who said anything about kicking anyone out if the house.

The expectation is for an adult who was gifted a college education with zero debt support him/herself through employment afterwards.

That is harsh or normal?[/quote]

I guess there's just no reason to be so nasty about it.  Why do you seem so triggered?  If you don't have funds to share, don't.  If you do, that's nice.  You'll be dead so why so defensive?  It's not your children's fault that, you know, you are going to die someday.

Also I assume that your spouse is 100% on board with you and,
this isn't a divorce/remarriage situation where you are disinheriting your step kids who otherwise would have had an inheritance from their parent.  And you didn't screw over the first spouse by cheating, hiding assets, etc, right?

Right?[/quote]
