[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My very wealthy father always maintained he would stick to equal treatment of his children. Well, life happened and he changed his mind pretty quickly. My brothers are almost entirely supported, and have been for nearly two decades now. It was annoying at first, as DH and I work our @sses off while they live a life of leisure (no jobs), but I wouldn't want to change places with them. We're comfortable enough and feel fortunate to live a good life with no health or psych disabilities. It's just money. [/quote]

Sorry.   I don’t believe neither of your brothers has a job.  [/quote]

One has a health disability, the other a psych disability. One lives with my parents, the other lives nearby in a condo for which they pay the mortgage and other expenses. Neither has worked in 20+ years. One worked long enough to get modest disability payments (not enough to cover the mortgage in their affluent town), the other never worked long enough to be eligible. Fine if you don't believe it, but it's absolutely true. I used to be angry about it, but what's the point? They played a role in enabling the boys, who were always vastly spoiled, and this is the result. I would hate to be middle aged and dependent on my parents. [/quote]

Here’s the thing.  By explaining that all you’ve done is make your parents’ decision sound perfectly reasonable and make yourself sound even more petty.  [/quote]
