At an Easter dinner, Ron and Judy gave three of their children $20,000 house deposits while giving Emily and Nate only a card.
Though hurt by being overlooked simply because they were capable, Emily and Nate politely thanked their parents without causing an argument.
Nate expressed a quiet desire for their struggles to be acknowledged, prompting the couple to focus entirely on building their own future.
Taking extra shifts and harvest repairs, they sacrificed their free time for two years to build their savings and buy a home.
