[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are all such interesting questions.

I also wonder about differences in educational expenses with kids.  Like one kid might want a private college, then a masters and med school degree.  If the other kid only wants a public college degree, it is fair to give them more towards a house or wedding?  [b]What if one of your kids is a lesbian?   [/b]

I guess if you’re very rich or very poor, these rent important questions.  But for everyone else, it’s hard to feel like you’re being fair without being a bean counter.  [/quote]Lesbians buy houses and get married and have children. [/quote]

Obviously.  I meant more like, is there then an expectation that both families split equally?  These wedding traditions are so heteronormative, in addition to just feeling kind of random now.  Back in the day when everyone did basically the same thing (got married to someone of the opposite sex at a young age where they didn’t have much money and hadn’t previously cohabitated) having set norms made more sense.  The marriage experience is so diverse now that these set rules just feel arbitrary.  [/quote]
