[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is against human nature to share the money you earned over decades with someone who can’t pick up the phone when you are old and in poor health.

It is not about controlling your children. It is about having the self esteem to not engage in a one way relationship. [/quote]

I’d find it pretty sad to be thinking this way on my death bed. Very black and white. [/quote]

You only face the decline of old age, and death once. It is frightening and depressing. If the children you raised for decades , invested in and set up for life can’t care for you then, it would be the ultimate disappointment.

Expecting your parent to rally from that and write you a check is just beyond entitlement. [/quote]

I mean, the will is what happens after the parent is dead. The sad thing is being fixated on how often the kid called and figuring out how to wrest back my self esteem post-mortem! I hope if I end up there I am focused on understanding and forgiveness and not control and self-esteem. [/quote]
