[quote=Anonymous]My nephew is in the same situation. I mostly just let him talk. I do point out that there are better ways his dad and step mom could handle something, or that he has a right to something (like being fed). I don't necessarily badmouth the parents, although I do express serious frustration by something my nephew has brought up. If you directly badmouth the parents, it's just like one parent badmouthing the other in a divorce. Kids are going to be naturally protective of their parents, even when their parents are 100% wrong. I have talked to my brother. To no avail. 18 months for us until my nephew is 18 and can be more independent. I have saved for his college in a 529 since he was born, too. It's not enough to fully pay for college, but it will be helpful. This is something you might want to consider, if it's financially possible. [/quote]
