[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the least favorite and they sure made me know about it. Guess who they called when shit hit the fan and they needed help? Financial, emotional, "honey, we are losing our house". Their least favorite because their golden kids bailed on them. I did get my satisfaction.

Tell your DC that she doesn't owe them any type of relationship, let alone help. And save money on vacations visiting grandma. [/quote]

Least favored kid here. I remember when I was going through a really rough patch in my 20s, asked for financial help to get out of it. My parents said "you got yourself into this, you get yourself out of this." Meanwhile, they were buying my sibling anything their heart desired. [/quote]
When I came home for Christmas my freshman year my mom told me I was an adult now and wouldn't get Christmas presents because "we have to save our resources for the kids."  On Christmas morning my three siblings opened MacBooks, dSLRs, iPods and mountains of other goodies.  They also each opened a present I'd bought them with my minimum wage on campus job.  I didn't get a single present.

I was the only child cut off from any birthday or Christmas presents upon becoming an adult.[/quote]

Wow!  Are you from the first marriage of your father?

This sounds like something only a (bad) step parent would instigate.[/quote]
