Does anyone have success stories of resolving conflicts between adult siblings because of favoritism (mostly financial) from parents? I’m caught up in this as a spouse and want my kids to have a relationship with their aunt/uncle and cousins, and I cannot see a way through. It’s been 3 years. If so, can you share what worked.

Also, I’d point out to your spouse the poor example they are setting for your own children.

You can make the same case. That your kids need to have healthy relationships with their uncles, cousins etc.

Inheritance is a very touchy subject, but in the end there are only two options- either your spouse can deal with what they get or stay antagonistic with their siblings.

You have kids - plural- so you know that different kids have different needs. Sometimes what is seen as favoritism by one kid is seen by a parent as giving a kid the support they need. From the parent’s perspective, other children might need less support or different support. I don’t know your situation but that’s my two cents.

Also each generation just does things differently. 🤷‍♀️

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
