I don't personally think I am but would be interested to hear as DH thinks I am.
DH has 2 children from previous relationship, we have 1 child together. I will only ever have this one child due to long issues with fertility.
We are currently sorting out wills. In my mind DHs assets should be split between his 3 children, my 2DSC and our 1DC as they are all equally his children. My assets should go to my 1DC.
DH thinks we should just split everything between the 3 children.
My reasoning for this is that our DC will only ever inherit from us. If we do things DHs way, my DSC will inherit from DH, their mother and then also me.
I do consider my DSC as part of our family however I don't really parent them other than in the sense that all children in the house are treated equally in general terms. I do care about them but their parents are very much involved in their lives and I don't ever feel the need to be a 'parent' to them. We have a very friendly and good relationship but I don't see them as 'my' children as they have a very involved mother and father if that makes sense. They were also a bit older when I met DH so I never met them as babies or small children.
AIBU in wanting all children to inherit from just their own mum and dad? I think it's the simplest and fairest way.
