[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not saying this is right or wrong, but from their perspective they are giving the younger sibling something to create a more equal outcome. You and your DH have a marriage, a child, a house, two careers, and another set of relatives. SIL has nothing but them from their perspective so giving her a small condo and vacations doesn’t appear to be so extravagant. They could sell her condo and give you the money to remodel your kitchen or cancel her vacations and send money your way but then the inequity of your outcomes becomes even wider.

+1 to this.  It isn't "fair", life is not fair.  Why do you have to compare?  Is your own life good?  Focus on that.  You wouldn't want to trade places with her, would you?

My parents have helped one of my siblings much more than they helped me, and I could not care less.  I'm glad I was able to find my own way without extra help.  I don't care how long their help goes on.  As adults, my relationship with them is not about financials.[/quote]
