[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Second wife here with young children. DH got tired of ex wife and dc demands. Still gives money towards education but has been sensible enough to make sure his kids from first marriage do not inherit anything we have built together. Put into a will. This goes to our kids. I work hard to pay for my kids not his. Lazy ex didn't build a nest egg for kids her problem. All the money dh gave them they spent on clothes. Vacations. Rinsed their savings account. So he says they are adults time to get jobs and build their own futures. 
With my income I have already sorted out college, set up investment accounts and Rothschild with my own cash. Not dh cash.[/quote]

But your kids will be adults someday, too.  Why will they get to inherit from their dad but not his kids from his first marriage?  Part of whatever you gave built together is his, and ALL his kids should benefit equally from that. Your list betrays you - you are clearly a stepmom who impedes a good relationship between your DH and his other kids instead of facilitating/encouraging one.[/quote]

No one is entitled to inheritance.   It’s not the stepmoms job to facilitate the relationship and that relationship is generally impossible if the mother refuses to allow it to happen.  Once kids are adults, they can do what they want but if they continue to follow mom and listen to her vs find out the truth there is nothing dad or stepmom can do.  My husbands ex cheated, left with the ap and did all kids of horrible things to my husband and her ap ex wife and kids.  It was bad enough that the ap kids got removed from their home due to her abuse.  You cannot compete with that kind of crazy.  [/quote]
