recently my parents changed there will and made my daughter the Executor and taking me out for no reason other than my daughter is younger. When i pressed the issue my father tells me that they trust my husband...just not with the money. We don't know where this comment came from. They have known my husband since he was 6 (we are in our 50's now), and he was in the USMC for 20 years.

When we flew down to see my parents at xmas they gave no indication to me that they were going to do this. I knew they were going to make some changes but not like this. My husband has a background in estate planning, and explained to my parents about long term care. WE think that's what did it. Also my mother made some comments about things my daughter said, and I had know idea what she was talking about. When I confronted my daughter, she told me that my mother took it out of context.

My husband has made comments about the way my daughter talks to me. She doesn't talk to me disrepectfully, but for some reason my husband sees it like that. I raised my daughter by myself from 3-19, we have a very close relationship and have always talked to her as a parent, but, I've tryed to be understanding. But it's ok for my husbands kids not to call him months at a time where it gets to the point where he has to call them and sometimes it takes them days to call him back.

My husband keeps telling me that this is going to effect our relationship.

He wants me to put up a wall between my daughter and my grand children and my parents. And he doesn't want to be called papa anymore by the grandchildren, and he is going to tell them that. I keep telling him that would hurt those little children and they won't understand!

many more other thing but those are the basic ones, and all of this since April 1.

If that was your dh's reaction to the change in the will, perhaps your parents are right about him and they see something you don't see?

If your daughter does not live in your home and you do not financially support her with your marital money, there is no need for dh to worry about your relationship with her. He sounds a little controlling if he is making you choose between him and your family.

There IS a difference between having a different opinion and being an asshole, find it.

Agreed with Soverysad...I mean, sure I'd get a little upset if my parents took ME out of their will, (they probably don't have one, but that's besides the point)...however why should your husband take exception to this? It's not his parents? And, it's still your daughter so it's benefiting your family...

So your husband talked to your parents about long term care and estate planning. And now he is wondering why they annexed you from the will?

And now he is telling you daughter and grandkids that they can't call him papa anymore because he can't get his hands on your parents money when they die and because he can't put them in a home?

Please tell me that this only sounds bad.
