Also financial support may not compensate for the moral lessons taught.

I agree with Sue, I also was the youngest and received the “least”
however, 45 years later, I am the one who is able to retire early,
and am not dependent on my parents for an inheritance. I thanked my dad when he & my mom called to apoligize to me. I told them that learning to stand for myself was the best thing they have ever given me and I thanked them for that lesson.

What Laura really received from her father, at an early age, was the ability to stand on her own two feet. The younger sisters were coddled in a way that could have held them back their whole lives. I am in a similar situation. I was Laura (except I’m the youngest child). I’m not sure why some parents choose to help one child over another, but I was raised to stand on my own two feet, while my sister was raised to depend on others for help. She has never fully supported herself. I don’t think Laura should have accepted the first check or asked for any more. She got the best deal in the family!!!
