What?? It seems like this comment above is more for your own self-applause than anything else. Owenzelig's wife is due in August so I'm astounded that anyone would say such a thing.

If family want to fly out to visit, I think it's atrocious to assume that the expectant couple should foot the travel expenses. A revocable or non-revokable trust fund is irrelevant to family travel.
