The college fund is a nice idea. Really nice. But you know, I am of the belief that kids should pay their own way and learn the value of a dollar. Not saying that you should not contribute something, but the notion of an entirely parent-paid education is simply not an obligation like so many parents now treat it. Cash the check. Take the money. Do something for YOU. Use it for a weekend away, order breakfast in every morning. Use it for something you would not usually have the money to treat yourself to. Spend it in shameless excess. Karma is forever. http://theyearofthemoznwaterbottle.blogspot.com/ F*ck ‘em all. The college fund is a nice idea. Really nice.

Wow, will wonders never cease. KEEP IT! If she finds out and says anything, just tell her that you assumed she'd told them to send it to you, and that it's gone, gone, gone, as in, you're not gettin' any, baby. Hee.

Let your son help you decide which charity it goes to -- you may find out how he wants to help the world a little bit. This way your mom doesn't get it, but you don't have any burden on your conscience about keeping it. Surely there is an ill child somewhere that could benefit from a gift like this... and you have a terrific lesson for untitledson. ;) Cash the check and donate it to charity.

Don't tell your mother. I have lived with a mother who didn't do this, but did other things at the expense of me and my brother. There are certain battles that are not worth fighting. And this is karma for her, for you and your son. She penny pinches with your son as she did with you, the check that she tried to get that was your money was sent to you. I truly feel it's Karma. Enjoy it. Cash the check. Don’t tell your mother. I have lived with a mother who didn’t do this, but did other things at the expense of me and my brother.

If she doesn't know about it, she doesn't need to know. If it was your life insurance policy, it is yours. Don't think twice about it. I say CASH IT.

It's doesn't really matter who paid those premiums or not. If the insurance was set up to pay YOU when it ended, then by the terms of that contract its yours to do with however you want.

He paid the doctor bill, the doctor THEN submitted it to the insurance company, the insurance company sent me the reimbursement check. I called my attorney. She told me to cash it. It had my name on it. I did. I felt the same way when my x-husband was still on my insurance.
