[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't. They're his family, just like DH is your family. It's a package deal. [/quote]

Op here. I see your point. I'm fine with including his wife but just don't understand why his wife's daughter and school aged children are part of the package.[/quote]

'Cause they're her children and grandchildren. Probably the most important people in her life. You don't think they are worth your time.

My uncle left everything to his third wife and her brood because they made the last decade of his life a lot of fun. It took him three tries to get right being a husband and father figure. He died suddenly at 67. His own children were shocked to learn he had changed his will two years earlier. The step-grandkids that spent holidays and frequent weekends with him won't have to worry about how to pay for college.[/quote]

Op here. It's wonderful if he enjoys his new family members. I still don't get why that means I need to host them in my home. I've met these people a handful of times in three years. They may be his family, but they aren't mine. It's also just an issue of how busy I am, there isn't a ton of extra time and energy in my life to invest in these strangers.

I don't give a shit what my dad does with his will.[/quote]

You sound like a real peach. Quite frankly, I can't see why they'd WANT to spend any time with you, since you're clearly miserable and narcissistic. [/quote][/quote]

I've walked those shoes. You aren't owed an inheritance.

OP, Ignore this.  I get what you are saying 100%.  My parents have been divorced and remarried so many times that there is no money in the will for the "original" kids, my dad died and left it all to - you guessed it! - wife #2.  So person who I'm quoting - spare us the moral/fake righteousness until you have walked in our shoes and gone through MULTIPLE divorces where you have other peoples kids thrust on you and you don't get any money anyway because they're head over heels for the new wife.[/quote][/quote]
