^^My kids also think they know what the other is getting, but they don’t really. They don’t really even know how much their schools cost because I do all the financial aid forms and reconcile the bills and financial aid. One, the jealous one who always thinks life if unfair to her, is always accusing me of wasting money on her sister’s education but has no idea how much I pay for the sister, or what the sister borrows in student loans or pays for from her earnings. The amount I pay is really a lot closer to even than she thinks, and it is really not her concern. Why don’t I just tell her? I do, but she prefers to think she’s getting less. Just her nature.
