When I was approached by Endsleigh to write a sponsored blog post about Life Insurance, I was a bit ?? about it, but actually, this is my first ever one, and I’ve been able to write about whatever I like, so I’m declaring that I’ve been paid by them for a back link. And that’s it, I’m writing whatever I like, so here goes…:
Life Insurance is a big deal, not just because you’ve got to actually get it sorted, but because it throws up so many things for families to think about. The kerfuffle in our house, is that we can’t entirely agree on who will get the boys if both of us should step under a bus at the same time.
Ideally, I’d want our boys to go to my brother, but he lives 3 hours away, isn’t married and isn’t about to settle down, so I don’t think he’s in the right place to be a full time dad to two boys at the moment. After him, I want our boys to go to his sister, but only on the condition that it’s to his sister and not our in laws. Not because I think they would do a bad job, but because I want them to have young parents and be brought up with modern, fresh outlooks on life which I don’t think my in laws or my own parents would have enough of.
I think we’ve got life insurance for me, but not Lovely Bloke. Can’t work out why, but at the very least, I’m going to make sure it’s sorted. And then I’ve got to agree on the will, which is I think, where we specify who gets our boys. I just want to think that my parents, and brother, who live ‘oop North, will see them regularly, will spend time with them and will know that there’s a life outside of Sawston and Cambridgeshire, that there’s lots of interesting people in the world and that they should explore it. I don’t think that’s too much to hope for, for my boys, is it?
