Would you give your dh's kids money? ETA

This is a hypothetical question. Say once dh married you, he changed his will to say that his life insurance goes to you and you get to do whatever you please. You have 4 kids with dh and he had 2 kids with his first wife. 2 kids from before hadnt spoken with him in at least 10 years if not more. But his 4 kids with you were his treasures and they all were very close to Dad. Once dh passed you start hearing from the other 2 kids and now they want a cut of his insurance. These 2 are now grown adults as well as the other 4. Would you give them anything? Would you even respond to them? Also they didn't show up to the funeral. They just questioned how much of the money is "theirs" because their mother told them he had a life insurance. Wwyd?
ETA:
What if the kids were 15 and 17 and had not spoken to Dad in a year. Every attempt was made on his part to contact them but they said they would no longer speak to him as long as he was married to you? But now they want to be best friends with you since they do not have access to the money anymore?

Hell no. It sounds like they care more about his money than they do about him. If they'd made even a SLIGHT effort to be in his life before he passed then I would do it without a thought, but for them to just ignore him and then come around asking for their cut? Screw that.

No.  

But I would ask why they didn't have a relationship while he was alive, and why they are asking for his money now that he's dead.

Because they only wanted Dad for money. If they didn't get what they wanted they didn't speak to him. Then they said he didn't get them what they wanted because of his new wife and kids.

Our wills do say that. I get everything, and he gets everything vice versa.

We made it this way because you never know how things may be. Both of us lost our dads and each have a stepbrother who had to receive money and used it on drugs.

In the situation described, they couldnt even go to the funeral and only worried about money, no, theyd get nothing.

BM or skids had the opportunity to have gotten a life insurance policy on your Dh. No,if they couldn't go to the funeral,I would not cut them in on the $.

If my Dh was to die,it was my choice to put a LI policy on him. I did,and now it's mine. I'd give the skids some of dh's stuff.
