What you need is a Will and a Living Revocable Trust. The Trust is important for your children because if you want them to ultimatly end up with your inheritance that is the way they have it preserved for them until they are of a legal age to take possesion. It will outline your exact wishes and say who will care for them until they mature and how they should be cared for, etc. There is a kit available from Suze Orman (she is the financial guru Oprah made famous) on her website suzeorman.com that will get you set up with both of these documents. And if you would like the kit for free just PM me and I will give you the password which you have to enter in the `gift code` area. Such an overwhelming thing trying to figure all this out, and so difficult to think of these kind of possibilites! But of course you obviously love your children enough to plan for anything and everything :) Good luck with all this!

my dh is the one with the will he always makes sure to have a part stating that if both of us die my oldest sister is to look after our children. He reveiws it every 2 yrs or something just in case situations have changed. We looked at who we thought was financially available to raise them, who is in a good age frame and also who will maintain their relationship with the other side of their family.

Our house and cars are all in my name. When I went into the hospital to have a surgery after my son was born, I wrote out a dated statement that said `In the event that I, First name, last name die, my husband, first name last name shall inherit all of my possessions and the value attached to them. Including the property at (address) and the (make, model, years of our cars). In the event that we both die, we would like our son to be raised by (sister`s name) and for her, (sister's name) to the beneficiary of all financial benefits. Then I signed it, and my neighbor signed as a witness.

I`ve been meaning to do this but haven`t yet. I have, however, opened a life insurance policy for my DD. Of course it too sounds just terrible but I can`t imagine going thru a loss such as this and NOT having the funds to take care of it or letting the financial strain be a constant reminder for the next 10 yrs as I pay it off.

i had to since i couldnt imagine what would happen if his parents got my son, it would be fatal. luckily my step dad is a paralegal so he wrote one up for me so my mom will make any and all decisions in the event i or both my husband and i die(my dh is a firefighter and home 6 days a month )

My Dad and Stepmom have been reminding me to make out a paper saying what shoud be done with my DD in the event that her father and I die. It sounds horribe, but they mean well because my mother is a psycho bitch and couln`t take care of me or herself and she doesn`t need to be around my child alone EVER. My SO and I are getting married out of state next March(only because we don`t want my mom to ruin everything)It`s quite a drive and anything could happen. My DD is staying with my Dad and Stepmom so we can get married and have a `honeymoon` Anywho...I don`t know how to word a paper like that so my mother has no chance in hell of getting custody of my daughter and so if she sees my daughter at all it will be supervised visits and she will NEVER be allowed to take her ANYWHERE.

  1. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  2. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  3. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
  4. Can anyone relate? My 4 year old is making all sorts of amazing connections which is great that he`s thinking about the world, but some of his thoughts are quite deep. He`s a natural born worrier (gets that from me!) and I try to protect him from as much as I can but there`s things that can`t be avoided. Ie, ever since Easter, he`s been plagued with fear about getting holes in him like Jesus (he learnt it at Kindy). Well just this evening he came out with `Why do you and Margo (Grandma) have holes in your ears like Jesus? Did you get your ears nailed to a cross?` He`s also obsessed with the fear of death.
  5. Family of 4 flying Southwest tomorrow (2.5-hr flight), baby riding in carseat on plane so can only sit by window. Flight is full. Which seating arrangement would you choose...
  6. I`ve just opened up my facebook newsfeed this morning and there`s a whole bunch of photos of Saturday night antics. First there was one from my 19 year old cousin with her and her friends (looking thrashed out, dirty, bits hanging out of places they shouldn`t and just overall skanky), and another from a friend of mine who is 15 years older on a rare night out with her school friends (who are all mums) who looked gorgeous, fresh, clean, sexy yet classy (let the clothes rather than the skin do the talking - ie you don`t need your ass and boobs hanging out to show off a nice little figure) Is it just me, or are young girls looking thrashier than women in their 20s, 30s and 40s?
  7. Do you or someone you know raise their now school aged child with attachment parenting (baby wearing, never ever allow the baby to cry it out, cosleeping, baby let snacks and feedings, etc) 8f so, how does the school aged child/ren compare to their peers?
  8. You can only have three of the four when buying a house. Which do you sacrifice?
