Marital dispute erupts when man insists on splitting inheritance evenly among children to avoid favoritism, but wife demands that they prioritize one child over the others
Welcome, tea-spilling sisters.

Indeed, one child might be doing financially better than the others, and it might seem logical to give that child less. But by the time you are not long for this world, the financial situation among your children might be drastically different. However, if one child has a lifelong disability that they must contend with, it might be worth leaving them with extra help.

Unfortunately, our protagonist does not give much detail for his wife's reasoning, but the speculation made for an interesting internet discussion.
