[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 626952, member: 17720"] I used to contemplate dividing things unequally between my daughter and my son. My daughter is not as well-versed in difficult child-ness as we have had to become with my son. I know that as long as my son perceives things are fair he would respect my daughter's boundaries. Even at his absolute worst, that is a boundary he would respect. However, if he perceived things were not fair and he was at his worst, he would make her life miserable. So in my situation dividing things equally seems easiest for easy child in the worst case scenario. It is not a sizeable estate either way. When my dad died it was a surprise to me and my brother (who was all but estranged from my dad) that my dad left him only a small portion of his life insurance. It had a negative effect on our relationship. As far as long-term dependence on either one of them, that is my absolute biggest fear. [/QUOTE]
