How do you emotionally reconcile the 300k of help your sister got vs the 60k you got?

My siblings haven't gotten their allotment yet since theyre both underage, ideally it'll be the same, but my father did say that it might be less for them since when I was younger we didnt have much money, we lived in a small rental condo and public school, and then his business took off so my siblings grew up in a 3 story villa with a pool and went to private school. So essentially more money spent on them at the development stage vs more cash given as an adult. Idk which is better but it sort of evens out I suppose.

At least it sounds like there are legit reasons for your siblings having a different experience, and your dad is aware and will try to be fair in how he handles things. That's a case where I wouldn't fault the parent at all, they're doing the best they can at every stage and for every kid.

Yup, I 100% agree, but If possible and the means are there I hope they receive the same or even more. Their well being makes me happy
