[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIL tried to do this with my husband and his brother. They graduated from high school two years apart. My husband called her on it and she did finish paying his college bills but then gifted over 100k to his brother to buy a house. Favoritism is a family tradition in his family. Parents tend to pick the favored adult child and put all of their effort, time and financial, into that adult child only.

Husband stays in touch with them bimonthly by phone. That’s it. We visit them every other year and expect nothing, not even a shared meal, from them. They don’t have an interest in our children either. They sent a small monetary gift to our son who just graduated from high school. He said thanks but that’s the most they have ever done for him. MIL barely even speaks to our kids when we have visited. She prefers BIL’s kids.[/quote]

They better hope BIL's family is interested in elder care because life comes at you fast when you BIL doesn't care and the black sheep gets to decide what home to put you in [/quote]
