[quote=Anonymous]BTDT.  My mom financed many things for my siblings while I was left on my own.  I was always happy that I had the skills, ability and drive to make it on my own and that I never relied on anyone else to take care of me.  I was always glad not to be in their shoes, needing to accept my mom's contributions when they were old enough to be supporting and caring for themselves.  And, I guess I feel like it would be presumptuous to expect anything even though she was contributing to the support of my siblings.

FWIW, I don't give my kids the same.  I give everyone what they need.  Some of my kids need more of my money (tutors, special classes) while others don't.  I don't plan on giving my oldest a gift in the amount of the cost of my youngest's college education just because he's not going to college - they both get what they need.  I suspect that my mom felt the same and that she gave each of us as much as she could to help us turn out to be successful adults and even with this, one of my siblings isn't what anyone would consider successful.  My guess is that your mom feels the same, OP.  [/quote]
