Money can be a curse

May I be as bold as to ask why you shared a health insurance excess ?

Grace , from your lips to his ears . LOL

Fortunately my 2 daughters have common sense.
My older daughter has 2 daughters and my younger daughter has 1 and another child due on Saturday.
I have obviously given more to my older daughter's children so far which is like giving money to my daughter because there are 2 children but I have no doubt I will be spending money on my new grandchild soon.
Both lots of grandparents shared a health insurance excess amounting to £500 for our oldest granddaughter last Christmas as we regard this as being nobody's fault and as far as I know my youngest daughter does not expect anything as a result of this. She even offered to contribute.

With regard to my estate I think I may be willing it to my grandchildren at some point as my daughters are reasonably well off.
If at that point my 1 daughter has 3 children and the other 2 will it be fair to give my one lot of my grandchildren a quarter of the estate each and the other lot a sixth each or do I give them all 20%.

Waiting for Frank's input on this one.....

I do try to keep it even with mine. But I'm not above quietly slipping a bit extra to any one of them feeling a particular need. (Best to keep it quiet I think )

What difference does it make what you do with your money? I assume they are both adults?

Mine have all been helped in different ways at different times, according to their needs. If you bought one a pair of shoes when they were small did you always buy the other one a pair whether they needed it or not? I shouldn't think so, why is it different when they are adults?

My mother felt so guilty about helping out the others she always promised me I would get her unit trusts when she died. I didn't but am an adult.
