[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because on a primal level, we all want to be the one most loved by our parents - even in adulthood.  It is important for parents to convey to their children that they are very loved.

When a parent leaves more to one sibling than another, the message is, "I love him more."  This is very damaging on a primal level.  It also leaves conflict and bitterness in the departed parent's wake.

My most fervent wish for my children is that they love and support one another, long past the time I am here on earth.  I want them to be united and close.  I imagine all parents have this wish.  Leaving more to one sibling than to another is a pretty surefire way to divide them.[/quote]

I think some parents do this when they don't live their kids equally sort of as a consolation prize.

I'm the pp whose parents left everything to the youngest and don't mind.  I have always known my parents love me the most  :wink: [/quote]

You proved my point.

Sad that your parents did this.[/quote]

The only person who is sad is you.  We all get along well, support each other and have a close relationship.  We love our youngest sibling and understand why our parents left everything to him and his family.  It is based on need and we understand that division of money is not a reflection of our parents love for us.

We probably would not feel the same if we needed the money but we don't.[/quote]
