Heather --- I did not say anything about spending the same amount on each child equally love.  Money does not equal love.  IMO, it's insane to track EVERY penny you give to your children to make sure it's equal.  Two year olds have that mentality of equality because they do not understand the concept that life isn't always equal and fair.

I agree that it insane to track every penny given to each child, but I don't think it's that difficult to remember, or track that you gave two of your children $5,000 towards their weddings and nothing to your third child.

I think it really must depend on your family right??? I mean some parents really DO favor one child over another!

Well It's true, it's life and you should definately get over it.  And my recommendation for getting over it is when you have children, send em over on B-days Christmas and Easter, I mean it's totally your right so favor one set of G.Parents over the next right?

 My comment about the taking advantage of ops parents was simply a response to her saying that she feels that her parents are  being taken advantage of.  Please help me to understand how his parents not giving them money is taking advantage of her parents.  I agree. It is unfair.  I just dont get complaining about it when her parents have so much money they dont know what to do with it. 

I just dont get how his parents are taking advantage of hers.  the comment about the grandchildren is a good one.  you make your bed and you lie in it. if in the future they see less of her children because of it then so be it.  karma.
