We have the type of family that discusses these issues with each other.

I completely agree with this. What her parents choose to do with their money is of absolutely no concern of OP's, nor are the circumstances of her brother's divorce. In fact, I find her petty scorekeeping to be disgusting.

Only look in someone else's bowl to be sure that person has enough, OP.

Sheesh.

I think if you're this frustrated, then you say to them, "I'm glad that you've changed your mind about what it means to be fair and realized that sometimes fair means giving each child what you think makes sense given their circumstance." Then never think about it again.

I would be pissed if my adult children asked me this.

Seriously, though, you are a grown-up now. This is not like one sibling getting a better Christmas present than everyone else.

Your life will be happier if you stop expecting and accepting money from your parents. You are a grown up. Support yourself and stop feeling entitled to handouts.

You can ask your parents to support you in this decision by refraining from telling you if they are choosing to give money to other siblings. It's not something any of you need to know about the others and it will only increase conflict between you. MYOB and tell your parents to stop over-sharing financial decisions.
