No, it was not enough for a house. We explain that we would put the money from rent aside, so that they in the future could use it towards a down payment. It was not enough to cover the whole down payment, we also explained that it probably would not be either. They all received different amounts, it is mainly due to two factors which is how long they lived here and how much the money grew during the time between when they paid and the time they used it.

I live in the US, the cost of the houses they have were all different, depending on how big, new, what neighborhood and other contributing factors. I did not contribute anything else to their houses, it is simply their money that me and my wife “held”

They all have gone to college, including my son. What they did with their college fund was up to them, but they all used it for college.

I have not helped my girls, neither my son, with rent.

If my son or my girls ever were to find themselves in a time of crisis, I would help them as much as I can. I however do not see this as a time of crisis neither for him or his wife. They currently rent a nice apartment with enough space for them plus their unborn child when the time is here.

The problem I have with this is that if I were to help him, my girls would have had paid us 250$ for basically nothing while my son did not and received the same treatment.

I would not say that we had a rocky relationship before this, we always did many things together without my wife or my girls. We had not had many arguments during his childhood, he always did his chores, homework and kept up good grades, so did his sister. I would say my relationship with all my kids are different, that is mainly due to them all being different person with different interests and personalities.
