[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents wanted to buy me a new car (we were going to buy a 10k used car, they wanted their grandkids in something with modern safety features, we didn’t have the money) and my sister had to talk them out of giving her an equal amount of cash. I can’t even imagine what’s going through these people’s minds. [/quote]

your parents were going to give your sister the equivalent amount in cash? fwiw, i think that is a good impulse on your parents' part.  my parents acted in that way as best as they could with their limited assets.  i don't think any of us kids ended up feeling that one of us had been favored more financially than the other.  i try to do same with my kids.  dd likes to shop, so i try to get ds the equivalent so he doesn't feel as if he is being overlooked.  he prefers more expensive items and understands that his shoes may cost the same as her three outfits. good on your parents as well as your sister![/quote]

+1, good on the parents for offering, and good on the sister for refusing too. But totally fine if she had accepted it as well. This is the way its done.[/quote]
