[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mentioning that her sister is less successful seems petty. It rubbed me the wrong way immediately.[/quote] You'd prefer OP to act as if the sister is wealthy, works full time, her BIL is a rich surgeon? The sister being long-term unemployed teases out work ethic and character issues, it explains her additional free time, it signals she can't afford a second home of her own, it tees up the dad possibly feeling sorry for her and her husband so they can weasel a larger than 33.3% cut of the dad's estate. It also creates a sense of entitlement in a mooch, when they see a sibling "with" and they are without, it rationalizes more ruthless mooching.[/quote] Is it your opinion that anybody that does not have a paying job and not a lot of wealth has work ethic and character issues, is entitled, and is a ruthless mooch? How do you define "success"?[/quote]
