One of my sisters must be in money problems since I got a check out of the blue from my parents. They always send out money equally.
Ugh, DW's mother does this. We don't share the exact details of our finances with her, but she knows that we are generally well-off, especially compared to DW's two sisters. Yet every so often she feels guilty about helping DW's sisters and sends us a check. I really do not want to accept the money, but DW tells me she would be very offended if we turned her down.
My parents have no such compulsion. By and large they have helped each of us when we needed it, and not felt the need to spread it around haphazardly.
