Parents can leave any inheritance that they want to.  There is not a set percentage.

You should try something to bring your family closer together. You should try an iMemoryBook. Each family member can easily add a memory or a photo to the book and then when you are done iMemoryBook will print it into a beautiful full color book. Everyone has at least one nice memory.\n\nWe did one for my grandparents last year, it was a huge hit. It really brought the family closer together.

Yeh, run an ad in the  newspapers announcing you are severing ties with your siblings .......place in their names and social security numbers. Send a notification card to all relatives and friends about it. See lawyer for better clarification.

I have the very same situation.  You dont fix something that they dont wish to be fixed.  All you can do is love them both.  Accept the situation.  Believe me, it doesnt go away.  We 3 sisters are all seniors, and it remains as such.\nThey do not talk to each other.  I speak with both, but closer to one than the other.  The one, who is the first born, is the one who chooses as you describe. I am the youngest.  Just thought I'd toss these two items in to see if it correlates to your birth order as well.

Don't include all of those cousins and aunts and uncles that are very distant.. Keep it simple plain and short.. just start with the 2 grandma's and the 2 grandpa's..

I don't think so...\nIn my opinion no one should actually "lead" the family.\nDecisions should be made together, and every one, from the youngest to the oldest should have the right to say what they think!\n(Not including stuff kids don't understand, and aren't interested. For example: finantual problems. In such cases the elder part of the family should lead (mom, dad, Grandparents?)But of course, if the youngsters are interested, why not try and stand for their opinion?)

From here it looks like you were ungrateful to your parents who you admit spoiled you as their only child...surely they would be concerned if you hung out with the older cousins of a bad influence (even you admit that they looked like gangsters and got into trouble). Yet you complain about not being able to compete with your good cousins that did well in school...Your parents likely only wanted the best for you which you couldn't comprehend because of your youthful rebellion and now that you're a parent you want to deprive your kids of the companionship of well-meaning grandparents? Take them to see your parents on a regular basis --- and be nice to your parents because they deserve it.

I like the way you think. Personally I give back one person at a time. Sometimes in groups it depends on where I am and what is needed by each individual.  Just people in general, I don't really have to know them, just what they might need. Sometimes a wise conversation, or a friendly gesture. Just Because. Those who know me, know that children are my Purpose( A better way to see the world)!  Remember when Good Deeds are done, someone is doing something GREAT!

I'd say that you'll have to be strong on this one with your grandmother. If it's too hard to say that you only want to invite certain people and not all the extended family, see if you can pin it on the place where you're at (room to small, already committed to the head-count). There used to be a time when you could invite some people and not others and no one took offense to it. But nowadays in this "please me" society we are ever more careful not to offend. If questioned by relatives as to why they weren't invited to the party you can respond "I regret that we weren't able to invite every person we thought of!" and leave it at that. You owe no explanation beyond that. Hope that helps - have a great party!

If it was an older man and younger woman no one would bat an eye.  I say if your both happy, enjoy it and ignore everyone.  Life is too short.  Tell her if she doesn't let you see the grandson, the courts DO give visitation to grandparents.  Good luck to you.

how about social skills related to birth order in family unit? I always found that interesting

I never wanted a brother or sister, I felt special because my parents just had me to love. As an adult I somethimes find parties/gatherings difficult, feeling as though I don't know how to behave in groups of people.  \n\nFriends of mine have an only child, an outgoing, bubbly ten-year old. She has daily interaction with other children in her street, sees her grandparents often, and has friends over to stay. Her parents involve her in everything they do, and spend a lot of time with her.\n\nI would say that an only child will learn many positives (happy in own company, used to talking to adults etc.) but you must make sure that they see a lot of their friends, and also spend time with children of different ages, so that they learn how to play as they would in a bigger family.

Visit your grandchild.  Whether you are gay or not does not  stop you from being a grandparent.  Who writes the rules anyways.  Hell, visit your family.  Just because you are gay does not mean you should drop off the face of the earth.  Being a part of that child's life may mean the difference between unjust prejudices.  Besides, you will miss out on so much love you would be a complete fool not to share it.

I am the youngest of four, although 2 have since passed away. I was in a unique position because my parents were away from each other for many years. My oldest sister was 16 when I was born, my brother nearly 10, and my other sister almost 6. As a result, I didn't get to play with them as such, but they did become surrogate parents especially as my parents got older and less energetic. I was pretty well raised by them. My parents provided financial and physical support, but my siblings were the ones I went to with my problems. I don't think I grew up spoiled, I had to compete with nieces and nephews from an early age. As the youngest, the tables are turned now and my elderly parents need me. I still have the stamina I might not have had if I were older.
