[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP, I do not have any advice. For the PP who say it's odd to feel resentful or that this is 'bean counting' etc, clearly they did not live a situation like this. For a myriad of reasons parents do a tremendous disservice to all of their children when they do things like this. I have seen it firsthand with my ILs and it absolutely breeds resentment. Unfortunately in our case my ILs have also made it clear that they expect us, despite my DH receiving none of the financial support and luxuries that have been given to his sibling, to do their bidding in their older age. This expectation of course will likely not match reality but they definitely think DH's sibling is too special to run errands or do whatever tasks for them so l wouldn't be surprised OP if you are treated similarly.
