Childfree Brother isn't going to escape the nagging when the kids grow up. From experience I can say the nagging will switch to "You aren't leaving your money to MY kids???? But you haven't got ANYONE to leave it to !!!!" (Of course, there are no charitable, political, or arts organizations in the world.)
Guaranteed bingo to older CFs: "Charity begins at home!" Every breeder in the world is sure s/he's invented that piece of brilliance.

The longer I think about it, the more sad I am but some things are simply unevitable.
You can only give and sacrifice so much, somewhere it's simply the end.
My hardcore breeder in-laws are constantly putting me down.
They put everyone else on a pedestal simply for having a chyld.
They conveniently ignore the fact that parunts are low quality people -
lazy, entitled etc. it doesn't play any role, they have a chyyyyyyyyld and therefore they are
saints. I am so tired of it.
IMHO, the family is only a source of misery.

Good, I'm glad to hear that you've drawn your line in the sand, too.
Social norms take a long time to establish but I believe it will be CF folks like you who will slowly re-write the etiquette "book," so to speak.
I applaud you for planning ahead and getting your will in place. An ironclad will prevents the usual breeder bonanza following a death in the family. Nice job!
Took a long time to draw the line, but I'm happier and healthier for doing it. Downside of being dead is not being able to see the look on the Golden Cow's and/or Golden Parasite's face when they learn they're not getting shit from me.

I support your decision to leave your belongings to whomever you want. You are an individual and have that right.
What I do not support, and will never support, is breeders and their sense of entitlement.

Ah, I was wondering where to put this:
Woman rejected by mother in will wins £164k inheritance
Admittedly the reason for her disownment seems harsh- this mother disowned her daughter for leaving home to live with her boyfriend when she was 17. Plenty of parents interfere in their children's relationships, and in this case it seems the relationship lasted and the mother should have butted out. That said, I believe people should have the right to sever contact if they want to and leave their money to whomever they want, and the idea of someone being forced to leave their money to someone just because they're famblee is disturbing.
In this case the daughter claimed her mother had a duty to provide for her financially (funny when she didn't need her mother's money at 17) and that she neeeeeeded the money to buy her council house and (through some loophole I assume) keep her state benefits.
So, why does someone who has just inherited £146,000, bought a house outright and therefore has no rent or mortgage payments to meet get to claim benefits? That's right- she's a MOOOOOOO of five and society therefore has to pander to her inflated sense of entitlement, with judges awarding her money from a private individual who specifically stated that she didn't want her to have it, and the welfare state awarding her public money she doesn't even need, to look after five brats she didn't need to spawn. Here she is pleading poverty which she could have avoided by not shitting out five brats she knew she couldn't afford.
This could pave the way for more entitled brats to come forward and try and suck their deceased parents dry, especially if doing so could spite whomever ended up with the money- their parent's second spouse, the disinherited child's half-siblings with that new spouse, etc, and especially if the disinherited children have spawned themselves and can plead (self-inflicted) poverty.
If this sets a precedent there will be no point in making a will- why bother trying to disinherit the sibling who bullied you all your life, or the child who got into drugs and burgled your home to pay for them, if some breeder-brained judge will see their crocodile tears in court and think "Awwww, but they're FAMBLEEEE!!!" and give all your money to them anyway?

Peace
I just read that article.
:hs :hs :hs :hs
The worst was where it stated that parents can still disinherit children, but now they have to state why, and have to explain, and have a relationship with the other person or charity getting the money instead.

@ blondie: "I am a machine, I don't need anything, I am just here to serve the breeders"
--> those are exactly my sentiments. The breeders only ignore my efforts or brand them
as not good enough...

I now read that "inheritance" story too. That's rich.
They were estranged since the daughter was 17 yo and eloped.
The said daughter is 54 today. That translates into 37 years
of estrangement and the daughter STILL gets one third
of her mother's estate!!!!
Obviously, once a chyld, always a chyld....

This ruling is going to have serious implications for charities too- plenty of people leave money to charities and they rely on "legacy" fundraising for a lot of their work, now will lots of entitled relatives start claiming the deceased had "no connection" to the charity and start ripping off charities left, right and centre? What if I wanted to leave a donation to The Dogs Trust? I love dogs, is that not enough of a connection, or would I need to marry a dog and get I LOVE DOGS tattooed on my forehead before I would be allowed to give my own money to them?
I think it's bad enough that the daughter was happy for three charities to waste their supporters' donations on hiring lawyers when they had more important things to spend that money on- all things more important than a woman being able to buy a home on the cheap so she can keep living on benefits rather than getting a job to support her five sprogs.
