Most people truly love their siblings and want the best for them, but that doesn’t mean that they support favoritism from their parents. Your siblings should be extremely successful, but not at your expense.

If parents want to help their children out, to ensure their success, it should only be done in an equal manner. Help all of your children equally, or don’t help at all.

When the daughter in the story below discovered that her parents had decided to gift her sister a $1.2M property, despite her long history of poor financial decisions, she realized they would never be equal in her parents’ eyes. She also learned that the fact that she is responsible in life, and doesn’t really need her parents’ help, somehow became a punishment.

With one unequal action, the parents turned their daughter against the entire family. She decided that she wants to distance herself and reevaluate her relationship with her parents, and who can blame her?
