Being the Golden Child makes a person accustomed to a certain level of comfort in life. Counting on their parents to bail them out at every chance, oftentimes, the GC will never learn self-preservation, and even though their other siblings are responsible, the parents will never see it that way. Weirdly, parents ignore the self-reliant children, instead focusing all of their energy on the needy one or their personal favorite. Well, this woman was determined to make a pitch to her parents that they would never forget, one that would either lead to an ultimatum, no contact, or a crisp $30,000 check.

Daughter exposes her parents' favoritism when they refuse to give her $30,000 for a down payment like they did her Golden Child brother: ‘It’s only fair'
Being the Golden Child in the family must be nice.
Your parents adore you, you can never do any wrong, and in this case, you get $30,000 wire transfer to fund a down payment on a house without any questions asked. This family's apparent favoritism was enough to drive the youngest daughter, the obvious non-favorite, to threaten no contact with her parents, and I'm thinking they deserve it.
If you're a functioning, independent adult, asking for money from your parents always feels weird. As if you're an 8-year-old begging for spare change from the center console in the family station wagon to buy yourself an ice cream from the truck outside, the underlying desperation behind a parent loan feels positively elementary. Well into our 30s, parents still see their offspring as the little boys and girls that they raised. This couple's Golden Child, a lowlife adult man with a lame job, a clunker car, and no aspirations in life, was always going to be their little boy. And in an attempt to make him more enticing to a suitor, they decided to give him $30,000 to buy a house.
However, the parents forgot one critical detail. They had a daughter, too. She was the one who helped them file paperwork, pay the bills, clean the house, get groceries, and keep the family household put together. Did she get a $30k present? Certainly not. But she was determined to expose their favoritism at face value, challenging the way this family chooses to view their favoritism.
