It,s a case of the dangling carrot syndrome, why o why can,t families sort there sh#t out, like yorkshire andrew said, only one winner there, and there Waring the black stockings.
I’ve stayed at home work daft hours but still bought my own house car ectWhen I see these stories I wonder if the story changes over time for both sides.
We always hear about children staying at home claiming they've worked for nothing and been promised everything will be theirs one day. Is there another side? how many have stayed at home despite being told they should really go off and make their own way in the world for a while? They've stayed at home because its easier and they think they will get it all one day and their parents have just let them.
I think there's more in the second camp than people think, I certainly know some.

You can’t be very clever to agree to work for nothing

Might be true for some, but me & my brother certainly aren't in the second camp. We both could've gone out & earned big money. We stuck at it & worked our way out of a financial mess.
We both finally became "wealthy" thanks to inheritance when Dad died in 2012. If it hadn't been for me & my brother's hard graft, there wouldn't have been anything left to inherit.
I do agree with some of what you say, but i do think in most cases the son or daughter are used as cheap labour, I think if most parents were clear at the start, when there kids are in there 20,s, a lot of problems would cease to exist.When I see these stories I wonder if the story changes over time for both sides.

And the parents are waiting to see if they are committed, have a 'reliable' partner etc.
I agree although if they had most things paid for and were just given a few quid a week 'beer money' they may still be better off than leaving home and getting a no qualification entry level job and having to pay all the bills.
One thing I've noticed since living here is a lot more farmers sons and daughters leave the farm to go to university and work in better paid jobs then come back to take over the business when mum and dad retire.
Did your sisters not get an equal share?Might be true for some, but me & my brother certainly aren't in the second camp. We both could've gone out & earned big money. We stuck at it & worked our way out of a financial mess.
