[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all those who wouldn't help the same for their sons as their daughters, I dearly hope we never become in-laws. If by chance we do, I will ensure a strict prenup that will ensure my daughters maintain full financial control over their assets and inheritance.

From very wealthy mom who has evolved past the stone age[/quote]

This is odd.  If we were on the other side we would have the same thing.  Why is this news?

Look -- yes I would pay for daughter's wedding -- any amount and I would not allow them to pay a dime.  That is dumb.  I have money that will be subject to the Estate tax.  They do not.  I would not let other parents pay.  Pay gives control to other parents and I would not do it.

For my son, I will do what most wealthy parents do -- pay for honeymoon.  It will be less than the wedding but I am not concerned about coming out dime for dime with each kid.  If one went to Harvard and Harvard Law full pay and one did not go to college -- the one that did not go is not getting $500,000 plus.  Just the way it goes.

In terms of house -- sure help with down payments if needed.  More likely would be gifting maximum every year and there are other ways to transfer assets.[/quote]
