      No joke. I see my son and want nothing more than to provide a sense of security and a loving home. Maybe it will change over time but I can’t perceive viewing him as a “spoiled brat who should have nothing at my life’s end”

      Me no, but I can understand. After all - make your own damn money.
      Why shouldn’t they get a job?
      Some kids are so fucking entitled.

        We live in a capitalist society where you need to have money to make money. The less they start with, the less they’ll be able to make in expectation over their lifetime. Denying them an inheritance is basically saying that they should stay at the bottom of the totem pole.

            That should be accomplished through education. Then leave them money so they have the power to change things.

        It’s attitudes like this that really make me enjoy when I can swindle, hustle, undercut, rob, and otherwise take advantage of people like you. I hope before you die you experience loss, suffering, misery, isolation, and the rejection of your children in your deepest hour of need.
