[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents paid for all of my brother’s law school and a couple years later I got a full scholarship for my grad school, they didn’t ever give me a similar amount because I didn’t need it. This has never caused any problems between us, we both have more than we need.[/quote]

Because that is what nice normal people do.  They don't keep track of "who got what" in their family.  [/quote]

You’re saying a gift of one million dollars to a sibling (who was already umc) wouldn’t register with you? I don’t believe that. [/quote]

+1. And it’s so OP’s sibling can live in a nice house and send her kids to private school. And if your scholarship had fallen through or if you decided to go to law school it sounds like your parents would have picked up the tab. This is not the case in OP’s case. I went to an Ivy and got a lot of financial aid because my parents didn’t make a lot. My sister went to a school with a crappy endowment and my parents’ paid more for her college education. I’m not bitter about it, but I would be bitter if my parents gave my sister a million out of the blue so she could live a lavish lifestyle while I worked my butt off to afford a less affluent lifestyle.
