[quote=Anonymous] I'm an only child and my parents have always wanted to pay everything for me - actually they did, until DH and I insisted that we could manage! But the scenario you describe is disturbing because of the disparity of treatment between your husband and his sister. I suppose your husband is the quiet and accepting kind that never asks for anything, and his sister is the baby and has always expected, and demanded, that her parents provide her with stuff. The fact that no one has thrown a public fit over this situation has probably enabled his parents to pretend they were being fair and their son didn't need their help. The only way I could rationalize this situation is if the supported sibling had a handicap, but I suspect it's not the case here. [/quote]
