Wow. These posts that essentially shut out childless people are shocking to me. Our family is our family and we treat and view our kids the same, whether they had children or not. [/quote]

So let's see. Suppose you had two kids, a son and a daughter. Son spent their whole life building their career, so by the age of say 50, they're a high paid professional with their own house, significant retirement savings etc. that a long career provides. Daughter on the other hand had 3 kids over the span of 20 years, was a SAHM or had to take a break in her career, lowering her earning potential and retirement savings considerably. And perhaps surprise, surprise, at age 50 her DH decided to go on a second round. Which one of them has more material wealth in your opinion by age 50 and which one actually needs help? There is no such thing as distributing your wealth 50/50 in unequal circumstances and considering this "treating kids the same". [/quote]

I would say supposedly the 50 percent she got would help and get her set up.  Why punish someone for having a career?  Maybe he wanted kids and it never worked out?[/quote]
