[quote=Anonymous]You have described the situation in DH's family.  DH and one of his siblings went to college and married, worked hard and have done well.  Another sibling (Sib A) has more community college/associate degrees/certifications than I can count (all paid for by parents), yet still barely makes more than minimum wage, is on her 3rd marriage at age 42- all deadbeats (there was also a live-in boyfriend between those), had one close call with the police regarding illegally written checks (she should have been prosecuted).  The other sibling (Sib B) chose to pursue and acting career and had very limited success.  He's now a drama teacher and with his wife, makes a middle class living.

About 15 years ago, in laws made the comment that they've spent more "trying to help" on Sib A than to the other 3 combined, including college expenses for the other 3.  They have basically supported her her whole life.  They also do a lot for Sib B, including paying for extracurriculars and camps for the kids.  They have done nothing for us.  A few years ago, DH lost his job.  We spent a year living on 1/3 of our income and they didn't once did they offer to help out.  We resent the hell out of them and the entire situation.  DH and his other sibling who has done well on his own almost never see or speak to their in laws.  [/quote]
