[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have three 20 something kids and two of them work low paying jobs while one is more established and successful. I think she makes 250k at 29. We are having a family reunion in another continent and I told her that I’ll be paying for her siblings (25 and 27) flights (because they wouldn’t be able to afford it otherwise) but want her to pay for her own ticket because she can easily afford it. Well, yesterday we were discussing the trip and my daughter said she is deciding not to go because she’s busy with work. Usually she always travels with us so I’m not sure if she’s angry that I asked her to pay for her own airfare. It would cost around $1500. Was I wrong to do this?[/quote]

I would not go either.  I would take it as you really don't want me there and I would be mad you are treating me differently.[/quote]

Same. I wouldn’t want to burn up my vacation time and spend $1500 to go on a vacation with parents who don’t treat me and my siblings equally.  I would feel resentful the whole time, which is a waste.  I’m human. So is your oldest. [/quote]
