If you're a parent, you probably already know it's never a good idea to favor one child over the other.
It's always obvious and it leads to some seriously hurt feelings. So when one mom only gave one of her kids a gift worth $2 million, well, you can probably guess what happened next...
Cue the family drama!
She began by sharing that she and her husband have four kids: Henry (35m), Lisa (33f), Elizabeth (30f), and Shawn (28m). Before Henry was born, they purchased a six-bed/seven-bath house for little money.
While Henry and Lisa live the closest to them, it's Henry they're closest emotionally, too. That's because he and his wife, Abigail, invite them over for brunch every Sunday to spend time with them and their two young daughters.
Meanwhile, their daughter Lisa talks to her parents once per week on the phone and she sees her parents less frequently.
"Henry and Abigail currently live in a 2 bedroom house but Abigail recently found out she's pregnant and they're looking for something bigger," the mom wrote.
"They asked us to help them with house hunting, but housing prices have drastically increased since we bought our house and they wouldn't be able to afford anything more than 3 bedrooms, even though they both have good jobs."
Here's where the dilemma comes in.
They even drew up a contract and have a payment plan in place. This leaves them with enough money from the sale to buy the condo they wanted.
Cut to her daughter, Lisa, finding out. "Lisa and I were talking today and she asked how selling the house is going and I told her that we're selling it to Henry and Abigail," the mom wrote.
"She was enraged when I told her."
She said that she's looking for a bigger place too — a fact that the mom said she never told them about.
"I told her that Henry and Abigail need the space more because they have kids and she's single and childless."
"AITA for selling my house to my son and not my daughter?"
If you're sitting here screaming "YES!" you're not alone. Reddit quickly let her know she's in the wrong.
As 1/3 siblings, I'd be upset, too!
"We all know who the golden child is here and the three all know this now for sure they do not have any value with their parents," another wrote.
"They could have sold it for 3mil, keep 1mil to buy the beach condo and split 2mil between 4 kids, unless they have extra 6m to give the rest of the kids. Family of 3 doesn't need 6 bedroom house," they wrote.
