Being a parent is hard for a lot of financial and emotional reasons.

But keeping things equal between your kids doesn’t have to be.

Check out why this parent didn’t do that and could be accused of favoring one daughter over the other.

AITA for financially contributing more to one child’s life?

About 12 years ago, our daughter Ava got engaged to her now husband.

We bought them a house in our neighborhood.

Then the next year paid for their wedding.

Later things got tricky…

Recently our other daughter, Heather, asked for some money for a down payment for a house.

I would love to help Heather, but honestly we are in very different financial circumstances now than we were before.

We are hoping to retire soon and do not have a lot of excess money.

And he made up his mind.

My wife wants to sell the piece of land in our neighborhood to give Heather the money.

I really don’t want to do that.

AITA?

Here’s what people are saying.

I don’t know how he could make this look any different.

It makes no sense. I wonder how she’s doing.

It’s not that hard. It’s called a budget.

I wonder why she’s the golden child.

It’s so controlling!

Thanksgiving is going to be awkward.
