My husband has 4 children, who are 3 adult daughters and 1 son. He was divorced. I've known him many years and we married a year ago.
He lent his son many thousands of pounds recently to do a house up as part of property development that the son is doing. It was his money to lend and I believe it involved a charge on the property. Recently we were invited round his daughters, ostensibly for a cup of tea, to find that the 3 daughters were there and turned on my husband, expressing their resentment that they had not all been treated equally. He defended his action but I feel upset about all this still. I think the son is mercenary in the extreme, and the daughters think they should have been consulted on all this. They do not see why they should "struggle" as they put it (although they don't and they all go on expensive holidays, whereas we don't) whilst the son makes money, because he has been given so much. How should I react ? I do not wish to have a row with my husband over this, but I do feel he should not keep doling out money to them. He thinks they are just jealous and he told the son not to tell them what business deals he is up to.
