[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would it bother you if your parents left your sibling more than you because sibling chose not to work?[/quote]

Need more info as to why sibling isn't working for money

He doesn’t like working. He saved up some money 200k and quit the job he hated at 35. He is almost 50 now. He is divorced and lives with our parents over a decade. They pay most of his bills. He has been lazy since he was a kid. My mom wants to make it fair by giving him the house he lives in with them -worth over a million, then split the cash between the two of us. So she is rewarding his laziness.[/quote]

OMG, this is the exact situation with DH's sister (although she was never divorced and never saved $2k, much as $200k).  DH's mother told them that DH's sister will get the condo worth over a million, then split the cash.  DH and I don't need the money or property, but yes, he is hurt and was initially very angry about it.  But I try to remind him that a worse situation would be if he got stuck owning the property with her, in which case who knows whether she would be able to keep up the maintenance or even pay the property taxes.  OP, I imagine that might be the situation with your brother as well. [/quote]
