[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if this kid ends up at a state college and his sibling attends a private school. Should you be writing him a check to even it out?

Say yes to a weekend away, but not LA.[/quote]

They should absolutely make it equal.  I have 529s that are approximately equal for each kid.  One will likely earn a full ride and the remainder is hers to keep.  I told all my kids the same.

The scenario you described happened in DHs family.  They sent the "boys" to a fancy private school and the "girl" to a public school.  Then his parents have the audacity to make her feel bad about not being as successful.  DH toes the family line "well, she just wasn't as gifted".  I tell SIL "your parents are sexist a-holes who think I should stay home and raise kids too, despite my prestigious PhD".  OP isn't discriminating on gender but on personality and the consequences will be the same - life long psychological damage and a distant fractured relationship with their son.[/quote]
