A woman whose brother is engaged to a woman with children from a previous relationship says she’s warning the fiancée that her family won’t be giving the children “anything.”
In a post shared to Reddit, the anonymous 27-year-old writes that her 33-year-old brother has been dating his girlfriend Sarah (who has an 8-year-old and a 6-year old from a previous relationship) for two years, and recently proposed.
During a recent Easter dinner, “drama” unfolded when Sarah confronted the woman about her brother requesting a prenup.

“Basically my brother explained to her that he expects them to sign a prenup and that only his biological kids will have the right to inherit anything from our family assets,” she writes. “This is something that we as a family discussed before and we all agree that only our children should receive assets or money from our inheritance. My brother is free to pay whatever he wants for his stepchildren out of his own money, but my children and his bio children will never have to share anything that our family has with them.”
The post continues: “Sarah claimed that we are being unfair and that we are treating her and her kids like some strangers instead of embracing them like family. She said that the normal and decent thing to do was for us to see her kids like my brother’s kids who should have equal rights to any children they may have together.”
After “a lot more back and forth,” Sarah asked the family to clarify the situation.
“I told her from where we stand everything is clear and it is only her who has a problem. She said we are greedy and cruel to some kids and I snapped,” the woman writes. “I told her to deal with it … we will never divide anything outside of our family and she should not expect her children to be our problem or burden to finance.”
The woman ends her post by writing that she feels Sarah is “very manipulative” and “using my brother for what she and her kids can get from him,” but she worries that she was “too blunt in telling her the truth.”
But Reddit commenters don’t seem to think so.
Writes one: “Inheritance rules are typically set by families. Sarah should respect that and not demand change.”
Adds another: “Exactly, Inheritances aren’t group projects, your family has no obligation to share it with her or her kids.”
