My brother just started dating this girl. and He is asking us regarding if he should continue the relationship with her.

She has two bio children, from two different men. My brother is a young professional who has his own career and makes pretty good income.

The girl has told him that "I expect my future husband to put my bio children's name on his will."

I personally think she has been straightforward about it, and that is her expectation, it should not be considered as a big red flag, but my brother believes she is crossing the line

He told her, "I have to think about it." and she said, "If you are not okay wtih it, I have plenty of men who will."

Do you think this girl has been very honest, or do you think this girl has entitlement issues. thoughts?

This is wrong on the womans end. Sounds like she is looking for a guy to take responsibility for her children. I would probably end the relationship, as that statement would make me feel like all the woman is looking for is security for her children.
Not only that, but does she plan to put a hit on me? Heck, most people in their 20's dont even have a will. And she wants her children on his will. VERY wrong. Thats what the bio fathers are for.

I know this is going to sound odd, but it reminds me of those novelas (soap operas) where a woman marries a man for his money and then murders him. In a more realistic sense, sounds like a person throwing a hefty chunk on someone's back...

this single mom is a young widow so I can see where she is coming from.
I think my heart tells me that I don't want my own brother to deal with her, but my brain tells me that if I am a young widow has two minor kids to raise, I perhaps will want some kind of financial security too. so it is a hard decision..

Too early, major red flag, proceed with caution.

It's inappropriate for her to raise this issue when they're only beginning to date, and have no idea if an LTR will result. This sounds like a a red flag.

My friend's ex told him to pay her share of the rent in a 1 bedroom apartment they were about to share because if he didn't, there were "plenty of other guys that would".

Holy crap. GTFO b*tch.

This is why I don't date women with kids.

This is wrong, wrong wrong. Especially since it is a new relationship. This is something that should be discussed after marriage and if he chooses to "adopt" the kids as his own.

However, only your brother can tell if he is comfortable with that arrangement. Some men out there are fine with supporting a woman in that sense, other's aren't. The fact that she is dropping this early on is troubling.
