They have given generously but according to our needs. They paid for my wedding and one of my brothers' weddings, but my other sister-in-law's family paid for the third. They have bailed us out on various dept situations, helped with tuition, put money toward cars, ect. The point in tracking it is to make it all come out even in the end. When we bought our house we had received less than either of my brothers. My parents levelled the playing field by making a contribution toward our down payment. Knowing that they are being even handed with us helps me to not harbour any bitterness when my brothers are helped and I am not. It also removes guilt when I am being helped.
