(Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Dear Carolyn: We have two children. Our daughter and her husband have been levelheaded in managing their budget. Her husband has a good job and is the main breadwinner. In the past, our son has had difficulties and we have spent a great deal of money helping him. He is now settled down, is in a stable marriage, and has a good job. Our current will divides our money 50-50. Our daughter recently commented that she should get a larger percentage of our money because our son has cost us so much in the past. But her husband's parents are comfortable financially, own property, and he is an only child. The parents of our son's wife are divorced, have no property, have each remarried, and are financially strapped. Although our son has given us heartache in the past, we are ecstatic that he is doing well. We want to keep our will 50-50 but do not know how to explain this to our daughter without her feeling that she is being punished for her responsible path. — Confused Parents |
