[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So when you were younger and your sibling would get more, bigger gifts than you for birthdays, Christmas, etc year after year - this wouldn't bother/hurt you? 
Could you do this to your own kids ?

Not sure why this scenario is different just cause we're adults. Sorry, its rude of the parents at any age
 (not to mention , they are rewarding the bum, and punishing the hard worker - so many wrongs).[/quote]

Perfect analogy.[/quote]

+1. Another analogy: how many of the pp’s repeating “it’s their money, they can do what they want” would do what OP’s parents did: favor the lazy bum among their own kids? OP isn’t talking about special needs, she’s talking about laziness.

Personally, if my two kids turn into a hard worker and a bum (let’s hope not!), I’d be tempted to give more to the hard worker because I’d think they’d use it wisely. But I’d split it 50/50 anyway.

Also, do OP or her brother have kids? (Sorry, haven’t had time to read the whole thread). OP’s kids may be getting shafted, too. Will the brother leave whatever he leaves behind, if anything, to her kids?

Traditionally, wills have gone one of two ways:
1) per stirpes (by the root), which means the kids get equal amounts without factoring in how many grandchildren each kid has 
2) per capita, so that everybody, including the grandchildren, gets an equal amount.[/quote]
