[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's M.O.N.E.Y.  He's terrified the new wife will spend your inheritance.[/quote]

As has been brought up many times already in this thread, it's NOT just money.

There is also the issue of burial/cremation if the dad dies before his new wife.

There is time that will now be spent away from his grandchildren.

I'm a pp whose FIL remarried very quickly after the death of my MIL.   The new wife also had children and grandchildren.   It was very obvious that our children and Dh's siblings' children were not "getting a new grandma" with this arrangement, but the new wife's grandchildren were getting a new grandpa.   They go to every soccer game, birthday party, etc. for her grandchildren.   FIL's grandchildren?  Not even major life events like graduations, important religious ceremonies, etc.[/quote]

Why are all of you blaming the woman for these issues?  Unless Dad has dementia, if he prioritizes his new wife and her kin and neglects his own kids, that is sh*tty but 100% on him.  He is a grown man with agency.  He is free to make his own choices and deal with the consequences. [/quote]

PP you quoted here
I'm not "blaming" the new wife  and I agree that this was FIL's choice.   I'm just saying that there are other issues that come up when a widowed parent gets married again--not just inheritance.[/quote]
