[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to take the advice of an impartial party, a financial planner. They will all say, barring special needs, all children ( or grandchildren) should be given the same inheritance. [b]Do not count #1's college against him. You paid for both kids' college. Done. Now that they are on their own, they get the same amount. Otherwise, the good kid feels punished for being responsible, and the negligent one gets financially rewarded for irresponsible choices.[/b][/quote]

This. I guarantee you that #1 TOTALLY RESENTS both YOU and #2 for the handouts. I know I do.[/quote]

+ another.  I'm a kid who has always done the right thing, and never needed handouts.  Older sib is a loser, and was always supported by parent.   In the past year I asked for some help to pay tuition - and was told the money isn't there.  Older sib continues to be supported.  Obviously, the relationships have been going downhill for a long long time, and now I have gotten to the point where  I HATE BOTH OF THEM and have cut them out of my life.   I still let grandparents see their grandkids, but I'm not part of it. [/quote]
