Exactly this.  Why do your other 2 kids even know?  My parents occasionally dole out a gift to their kids, but if they are helping someone more on an individual level I am not asking details.  It's their money.  My dad helped my sister with a home renovation.  I have no idea how much money or what they decided to do.  Was it a loan? A gift?  A portion of her future inheritance?  I don't know and I don't care.  Could I dig in and demand details so that I can decide if I should be hurt or not?  I guess.  But what good would that do?  They are adults taking care of their own business.[/quote]

Usually the parents and child have justified to themselves that this child deserves special treatment for whatever reasons so they're not going out of their way to hide things. Plenty of parents help their kids with one off things- down payment, car, whatever. Some parents help one child with allll the things and their other children with none. It's pretty obvious and anyone who says this isn't the other kids' business or isn't a reason to be resentful isn't living in reality [/quote]
