Slight Conundrum

[Admiral Yi]

One of my nieces is graduating (home schooled) high school this spring.  I was going to send her a cash present, but then I realized I didn't give anything to her older brother (the gay one) when he graduated.  I also didn't give anything to my brother's two daughters.

So what should I do?  Not give anything to remain consistent and not play favorites?  Send a make-up check to her brother?

Not sure if it's accurate or not, but the perception is that this niece's family as not as well off as the other family.

I would wait for a private moment with her and give her the gift.

Give her the gift, and send a make=up check to her brother, with your apologies for not sending it at the time of his graduation.

[lustindarkness]

Send it to me.

[Eddie Teach]

You're just an uncle, it's ok to have favorites.

I'd send her the gift, sounds like she may need it the most and I'm thinking part of your conundrum is that you want to give a gift to her. You don't necessarily have to give to everyone as it gets expensive and tedious, like with Christmas presents, but I wouldn't find it a problem to maybe give a late graduation gift, at least to her brother. Your other nieces may never know about or care, but I think that depends on how close you as you know the relationships. Though if it's too late it's probably too awkward now anyway.

You should probably send it to the nephew, explaining that you only now have the means (or some other credible white lie).  The sibs will compare notes, but not the cousins.  I'd not worry about the other nieces.

You should go on a spree of coke and hookers, then after rehab tell anyone who listened that you would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those darned kids.

Yours is slightly ahead of the beaner's.

I want to help Yi save money, so I say be consistent and not give anything.

[Berkut]

You should pay me for that hoops bet first.

If you want to extricate yourself from all future family functions, tell everyone that you refused to give to the brother because his life choices offend your moral sensibilities.

Gross.

Use the money to buy some high end vodka, and get them drunk.
