I agree the whole deathbed thing is crazy, but sometimes you need family to step in. It has been a living hell being there for my parents and inlaws, especially when Alzheimers and constant emergencies are thrown in. No way in hell i could do this for a single aunt or uncle. Sometimes the single aunt or uncle lures the nieces and nephews with [b]promises of inheritance[/b] to the point they dump their own parents whish is sad and cruel.[/quote]

Do you know my childless sister and her husband? Not that my kids have dumped me, but she has money (we both inherited from our parents) and she sure has been bribing my kids with fancy presents. She hasn’t helped with college, of course—instead she showers them with showy stuff like expensive jewelry and electronics. And then there’s the inheritance, although they couldn’t dump me (not that they’ve want to) because I have the same inheritance from our parents. [/quote]

Sorry but what a sad post! You think your kids aren't dumping you because you'll leave them money when you die?!

As one of the childless by choice folks here - yeah, end of life stuff scares the cr*p out of me. It is certainly possible my last days will be worse than for someone who has devoted kids who are tending to them. To me that's not enough of a reason to have kids. [/quote]
