Whoa. Haven't had one of these posts in a long while. Generally, he just calls me and I don't answer the phone.

I came home today and my mom wanted to talk with me and my brother about something to do with my father. Uhm, okay. She's heard that my father's girlfriend is probably pregnant (there was no official announcement) and she wanted us to know that if something happens to her, she doesn't want the money we get to go to that kid.

Don't remember exactly what I said, but I'm pretty sure I snerked and gave the equivalent of, "I don't really give a shit about that kid." Because, seriously, I don't. That kid is not my problem and I sure as hell won't be giving him any money ever or babysitting or going to meet this kid. I don't care about his other family. It's not like he ever gave a crap about us, and I'm not about to give a crap about them.

So there you go.

I find myself remembering right after Stepmother #2 died, how Dad mentioned in passing that he was making a point of hurrying up and changing either his life insurance beneficiary listing or his will (I forget which it was), because it was one thing to him if his then-wife got a payout or shared an inheritance but he'd be damned if he'd risk my sister and I losing a share to his now-ex stepdaughter.

So maybe that's kind of what your mother was worrying about -- that your father would still have some sort of legal claim to her property if she predeceased him, and she wasn't too bothered by that so long as you and your brother were his sole heirs?

Nope. He has no legal claim -- she got that all taken care of.

She's just worried we'd feel bad or responsible (wtf??) and we'd give him money that was hers if he came and said he needed it to support his kid. Yeah right as if I would do that.

Clearly she has overestimated your sense of familial obligation.

(Though I'm thinking that familial obligation is a bit over-rated, as that it tends to be used by feckless idiots and jackholes to exploit more responsible family members.)
