[quote=Anonymous]As the more financially successful sibling and the wife of the more financially successful sibling (we’re also both the oldest kids), it’s very frustrating to be the ones who are always expected to be in charge and get zero support- this is also emotional support . We had less than nothing when we were married and earned every single penny. Guess who is also responsible for taking care of the parents? It’s not the younger siblings! We didnt always make this money. So, yes it has a negative impact on our relationships with our parents and our siblings because it’s not just about money. It’s about time, effort, respect, duty, expectations. Op- you should put money aside for your other kids. Also agree that paying for training or schooling is the better choice. Not cars or rent. Surprise your very hardworking other children with a trip/event with you, or a spa day. Some recognition that it’s very difficult to build a life and career, stay married for 20+years, always be responsible for everyone. Your other kid can get a job and do it too[/quote]
