[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents paid for both of our college educations, though my siblings was less $ due to a scholarship. They have not given us anything else other then paying for my wedding as is traditional. [b]They are very aware of being even, which works against because because my sibling is a multi millionaire and I stayed home and worked PT to raise my kids.[/b] They don’t give anything really to the grandkids other than normal presents and they did $500 per kid on HS graduation.

I personally will consider the circumstances before holding to such a strict evenness focus.[/quote]

Why does this work against you? Do you think they would give you more if your sibling also had need?

We are your sibling. My SIL could have written your post. The reality is that my ILs have a bias against her life choices, feeling she’s a bit lazy. She wouldn’t get more money even if we had the same situation.

Frankly, we’re glad SIL isn’t able to get handouts from ILs, because she discounts the many years of sacrifice involved in achieving what we have. I have literally worked every weekend since I’ve been 16 years old. We all make choices. [/quote]
