Is it likely to cause hurt feelings if you help one but can’t afford to do the same for others?

I think that this is a good point.

I have long had the principle that if we pay for one daughter to do something, we have implicitly decided to pay for the other daughter to do something equivalent. However, we only have two children. If we paid for a cousin’s child to do something, we have a lot more cousin’s children if we count all cousins on both sides. Even just sibling’s children becomes significantly more numerous compared to our own.
