[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I get that this seems really unfair to you. But honestly, why does it bother you? If they decided to donate it to a charity they loved, would that bother you as much? Is it because you think that parents should treat children similarly?

I get that, but I think still, it is their decision. You can tell them you were hurt by this. I think that's ok too. But make sure they know it's not an issue of the property but of wanting to treat everyone similarly.

BTW, my mom left me way more than my sisters. It's because I sent my mom money every month for decades. And because I loved her so much and did the most for her. In the end, i took what she gave me and split it between the three of us (in my mind, my mom owed me nothing). Maybe your sister will do the same.[/quote]

Why does it bother her? Come on. Her sister is going to sell the house and then her children can go to college with the funds and get a head start in life. Meanwhile OPs children may have limited college options due to finances.

[b]OP would have a front row seat to how her parents favored her sisters children over hers. It would be a hard pill to swallow to watch her nieces and nephews benefit from the grandparents inheritance while her own children got nothing.[/b]
 
That’s a shameful legacy for the parents. I wouldn’t want to be remembered for favoring one child over another and creating tension between my children. [/quote]

Believe me, a parent that favors one child one another is NOT remember favorably - ever.  I guess that tis the choice a parent like that makes - but then again, that kind of thing was probably happening all along, so I am sure people outside the family are well aware that the parent was not a very good parent.
