[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could go two ways:
1. Parents give equally to each child
2. Parents give each child what they believe each child needs.

Either was, their chioce, not yours.[/quote]

This.

There's also this to consider, OP. You are still light years better off in life than sis and you did it without any crutches. Take satisfaction in being a self-made woman. Teach your DC to haul water for their gardens. I say this as someone who has BTDT with a sibling.

I have a younger brother who struggled with mental illness from about the age of 15. He lived at home without going to school consistently or working for the next 15 years. He received more than just room and board. There was a generous monthly allowance my parents knew he spent on video games, porn, and comic books.

All the while, I managed college, grad school, and working also while struggling with PTSD. I could have used a parent-funded brief break from stress. No such luck.

However, today my brother is homeless and I'm at the least OK and sometimes thriving.
