[quote=Anonymous]I think the issue becomes enabling dependency and playing favorites. My siblings' education cost more than mine. That was fine. My brother and I married, independent, etc. My sister had a super expensive multiple degree education and was the favorite. She made a series of insane choices in every way and blew money. Every time, she got handouts.

We all deal with health stuff. My sister could have the same let's say knee issue. We don't complain, may not even mention to parents until over. Recovery may not go smoothly, but we deal. For her, it is a life altering event before it starts and we all must rally. Mom takes off to be with her. We are chastised for not calling/sending cards and flowers. My brother's cancer was not the huge event that my sister's minor surgery was.

So yeah, she gets way more money before and after they pass. She gets more attention and adoration too. The kicker is, she does not seem to think she needs to do anything remotely helpful for them.[/quote]
