Exactly this.  Why do your other 2 kids even know?  My parents occasionally dole out a gift to their kids, but if they are helping someone more on an individual level I am not asking details.  It's their money.  My dad helped my sister with a home renovation.  I have no idea how much money or what they decided to do.  Was it a loan? A gift?  A portion of her future inheritance?  I don't know and I don't care.  Could I dig in and demand details so that I can decide if I should be hurt or not?  I guess.  But what good would that do?  They are adults taking care of their own business.[/quote]
This seems like a healthy attitude.  I’m surprised at the number of adult people who feel entitled to dictate how their parents spend their money.[/quote]

I haven't seen a single person saying they think they should dictate how their parents spend their money.  But if the way the parent spends the money is glaringly uneven among siblings, then yes the children will have feelings about the disparity.  [/quote]

My mom cannot even be bothered to get my kid (or me, but I don't care about me as I don't want anything) a birthday present but gets my sibling and boyfriends kids and grandkids gifts.  I don't even get a happy birthday.  My mom lives 10 minutes away and conned me into staying close to care for her.  Not happening.  Its how you treat people more than the actual money.  I don't care about the money.  I have what I need.  But, don't think the grandkids don't notice.[/quote]
