But then on the flip side, somebody else said, help should be equitable, which I think is a really interesting concept because...

equity, not equality.

Equity is the concept of everybody receiving what they need to put them on an equal footing.

And so if we both needed to buy something, it was a hundred dollars and I had $90 and Beck had 50.

Equity would be me receiving $10 and Beck receiving 50.

So we both meet the needs that we have.

We've got equal opportunity.

Yeah.

I think I'm explaining, I hope I'm explaining that correctly.

Yeah.

So the idea of making help equitable is kind of what has happened.

It's the parent providing the support that has been needed to that sibling that needed the help and then all of the siblings receiving the same amount from the will itself.

Yes, yes, I agree with this.

Okay.

Just a little bit of clarity on the word.

Yeah.

Somebody else said she's not owed anything from her mum's will.

Somebody else I think is in a similar situation to our listener.

They said, if I bring up my parents paying for everything for my sister and how that's harming her independence, I get called jealous, which I guess there is a conversation to be had around that.

why does the sibling need help?
