We Want to Give Our Daughter $200K for a Home. We Already Paid for Her Wedding, and Our Sons Say We Are Being Unfair.

Question: We are in our 60s and comfortably retired. Our daughter wants a $200K advance on her inheritance to buy a home. We're not opposed, but what's the cleanest way to proceed to avoid resentment? We already paid $75K for her wedding and chipped in much less for her two brothers' weddings. To our horror, her brothers say we are being sexist! But she earns less than them.

Are they right, or are we just recognizing that daughters may need more financial help than sons?
