[quote=Anonymous]I would not be upset if I had an upstanding sibling who was truly in need. Example, hard working but let go from job and needs support, or has disabilities or medical issues, essentially tough life circumstances. I would be upset if parent coddles the "weakling". That's what my parents have done with my brother and it has handicapped him more than helped. I would also add that life has many twists and turns; everyone's fortunes turn and parents need to be careful about how they split inheritance. I can see why your mom did what she did. The down payment can make a very big difference for your sister's life. But the right thing to do is to deduct it from inheritance at the end. Parents should help their kids, they should not subsidize one's lifestyle at the expense of the others. Also, out of line of you to ask her if she would match the gift. [/quote]
