I would vote for equal shares (even if I were the one making the least amount per year). pat :@) [email protected] wrote: > A man has 3 children. Each child is an adult and has chosen their lifestyle accordingly, to suite their tastes. Each child had the same opportunity to have education, manners, social skills, and the like. Each child had the capability to work hard, broaden horizons, stay fit, have religious and moral mores. All three children are married, and have 2 children. The first child makes $125,00.00 a year. The second child makes $50,00.00 a year. The third child makes $30,000.00 a year. It is time for the father to make out his will, and he has a vast amont of assetts. He is considering dividing his assetts up using a theory of need. He has deduced that the third child should get a bigger third, since he/she has the smallest income, and would need it the most. The general consensus of the mother of these children, feels that each child should get an equal third, as it is not the fault of the first and second child, that the third child has not tried to reach his/her full potential, and is a slacker. She feels it would be another reinforcement of the childs lifelong position of "someone will take care of me, because I am the most needy." This is not Folklore or Homespun info., but it is about Folks and it is a Home life situation. Given the above information, how do you think the monies should be dispursed? I give my solemn vow--- this is NOT my family !!!!!
