[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents paid for all of my brother’s law school and a couple years later I got a full scholarship for my grad school, they didn’t ever give me a similar amount because I didn’t need it. This has never caused any problems between us, we both have more than we need.[/quote]

Because that is what nice normal people do.  They don't keep track of "who got what" in their family.  [/quote]

This is such BS[/quote]

So while alive, if you parents give a sibling $5K for their kids activities or for college or to help with a trip, do you actually go to your parents and ask for your $5k?  Genuinely interested in how that works.  If college cost more for your brother, did you ask for the difference from your parents when you graduated?

The OP didn't start a thread about her parents giving her sibling $5K to pay for her kids' summer camp, so I really don't see the point of your example.

The OP is speaking about their sibling getting $1M and [b]your response to the OP[/b] is "no one cares about this! no one keeps track!" and then when I call BS on your response you back track and provide a ridiculous example. You're back tracking because of course people keep track of their parents' giving their sibling a million dollars. [b]Of course people keep track of the fact that their parents are paying for their siblings' kids to go to private school and not their kids or that their parents' are buying their sibling a house and not them.[/b] [/quote]

I do not keep track of it. I have my own money and don't need theirs. They can spend their money as they see fit just like I spend mine as I see fit. 
Do you also keep track of your parents giving money to other people, to charity? Or are you only mad when they give it to your siblings. [/quote]

Why did you keep trying to derail the conversation with asinine questions. No one has brought up how much their parents give to charity or tracking whether their parents give $5K to a sibling. We are speaking about life changing sums of money. It’s like you enjoy being deliberately obtuse.,[/quote]

I think when you're talking about a massive differential, it is human to feel resentful. But if you're very financially comfortable yourselves, of course get over it.[/quote]
