By not giving money to #2, you’re essentially telling him that hard work doesn’t matter and all of his hard work  in getting the athletic scholarship do not matter.  Yes, life is not fair but parents need to treat both kids evenly, especially with money.  If #2 wants to share that money with #1, that’s up to him, not the parents.  Of course,  it is the parents money and they can do whatever they want, but it is a two way relationship and #2 is within his right not to speak to his mother because of this.  [/quote]

Wow---wouldn't want to live in your life.  Where everything is about money and you are not capable of working hard unless you are rewarded monetarily.

If my kid stopped talking to me because I did not give them the rest of their "college fund" I would wonder where we had gone wrong raising such an entitled brat[/quote]

Well, I work for Google and going by your logic, why would I work hard if I get paid the same salary as someone who is not, right?

As parents, I need to treat ALL of my kids fairly. In other words, I will divide my assets in 1/3 to each child.  They can divide among themselves if one sibling should get more than the other, that's not my job.  I hope I raise them well enough that they will do the right thing.

#2 is within his right to ask for that money that was set aside for his education.[/quote]
