I have posted before about my husband's offspring and how they seem to think we should just dole out money to them when they make an appalling mess of things. We are not penniless but they seem to think that we a bottomless pit of money.
This has been going for about fifteen years when stepson thought he should have some say as to what we should have in our wills. The other stepson wasn't invited to our wedding as OH said that he was so horrible I wouldn't want to know him. About five years ago, my husband patched things up with him and they would Skype each other and keep in touch with each other on Facebook. I was 'introduced' to this stepson via Skype and have spoken to him twice.
First stepson has not spoken to his dad for a number of years, money being at the centre of the disagreement. Again! Second stepson got himself into a mess of financial trouble because he spends money he doesn't have and doesn't work. When we refused to give him a very large sum of money, we copped a torrent on Facebook.
Everything has recently escalated into dreadful rants on Facebook where of course they say things none of them would have the intestinal fortitude to say to us face to face. They have a dreadful love/hate relationship with each other and the grand children and stir each other up at every opportunity.
I have to admit that when my husband's granddaughter referred to me as a 'ferret faced witch' I thought it was quite hilarious. These people are desperate to inherit so how do they think it is going to happen when they behave so badly? I have not had any personal contact with any of them since 2005, mainly because I just wanted to stay right out of their squabbles but of course I am still the wicked step mother.
OH has unfriended them on Facebook at long last and said to me this afternoon that he thought that it was time for us to change our wills. I have thought this for ages but it was something that had to come from him. Fortunately, I believe he still has capacity but will move on this on Monday.
All I can say is 'Hallelujah!'
