[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Children are not in the same category of beneficiaries as charities.

Giving to charity is not at all related to treating children with reasonable equality.

And to answer a prior posters question,  of course the sibling that didn't get 5k doesn't ASK her parent to equalize the gift.  The parent in a functional dynamic voluntarily gives kids equal amounts.

Ok I get it. If the money is given to a charity, you wouldn’t have a problem. But if your sibling is the beneficiary, you don’t agree with. Hate or jealousy towards your sibling is what this looks like.[/quote]

I really hope you aren’t a parent. Did you pay for one kid’s private HS and college and force the other kid to take out loans for college and then when that kid felt bad did you ask them why they hated their sibling?

It’s called equality. Look it up. It’s bizarre to assume someone hates their sibling if they feel hurt by their sibling getting $1M. The parents are creating dysfunction in the family by giving one of their children a lot more than another child. Donating to an animal rescue or cancer foundation would not privilege either child. Do you understand how this works? I feel like I’m communicating with chat GPT. Are you a robot?[/quote]

I had a friend in college who did ROTC for college tuition. Then of course she owed the military 4 years. Her parents told her younger sister they would pay her way, she didn't need to follow that path. Same expensive private college. Who wouldn't feel resentful?[/quote]
