[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daughter has grants, loans, and part time job. She has asked for help with things like costs of text books and car repairs. Stepmom invited her own adult daughter to move in with them, it’s been a couple of years now.  She does not pay rent and an adult son had previously lived rent free with them. Stepmom makes snarky comments to daughter and her dad when she feels dad is doing too much. From her perspective, it costs less to provide free room and board, then to send a check out.  [b]From our perspective,[/b] free room and board, is providing a lot more help. Daughter has had roommates but pays her own rent. [/quote]

Who is "our?"  You and your daughter?   You and your ex husband (daughter's dad?)

This sucks for your daughter, and I am sorry for that.   But it is a tale as old as time...When a divorced/widowed father marries another woman with kids from her previous marriage, his kids no longer matter. [/quote]

Daughter is paying for things through grants, loans and a job.  Dad stops paying child support which means mom is probably not contributing as her contribution was from Dad's child support money.  Mom needs to step up and pay if she thinks those things should be paid for.  I feel bad for the kid neither is helping and kid is living over their means.[/quote]
