[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh well. The world ain’t fair and no one deserves a handout. Your sister got lucky and you didn’t. That’s what it comes down to.[/quote]

Yes, and choices have consequences. It's like giving unequal inheritances. People can do as they please, but it causes tremendous resentment and there are psychologists who specialize in this BS. It is showing favoritism with money and it sends a message. I would be curious if there are any studies of families that show that the same parents who do this with money are the ones who pitted siblings against eachother growing up and played favorites.[/quote]

DP.  Not really.  OP didn't ask.  The sister did.  If OP is mad, and she sounds narcissistic, stomping her feet, 2-year-old mad, then OP is mad at the wrong people.  OP should be mad at her sister for asking, not her parents for doing what their daughter asked.

OP hasn't said her parents wouldn't give her the money.  OP has only said her sister asked and her parents gave her sister what the sister wanted.[/quote]

Interesting post. I didn't see anything that stated the sister asked for the money-could be though. Sounds like you are projecting with the "narcissistic" part. Let me guess, in your family, you are the one getting handouts and anyone who questions it is a "stomping feet...2 year old." Got it. Keep sucking mommy's teet.[/quote]

In our family I am the one GIVING the handouts.  We see a lot of OP-type behavior in one or two people who are immature brats.  They show it when others ask for what they need and we give it.  The mature people don't even notice or care because it isn't any of their business.   :wink: [/quote]
