In the off chance you are real, with that attitude I would not have asked you either. The condescension ("they" are blue collar, middle class) comes across loud and clear in this post. You think your sibling is an idiot, less worthy than you, a terrible parent, and deserves your contempt. That's despicable. Also--*your* track record of college admissions success? WT*? You are personally taking credit for all of this? And that this child has apparently lost out on "life altering experiences for herself and her parents" -- seriously?? On what planet is that kind of attitude ok for a family member?

Even if I gave you the biggest benefit of the doubt and didn't feel the condescension and judgement (its most generous interpretation), if I were your sibling I would not have asked you either because i'd assume my resources were not as extensive as yours to "turn down" a full ride or pay for "what this forum considers prestigious colleges."

Your attitude and contempt for your sibling come off loud and clear in the 162 words of your post. I hope to god this isn't real.[/quote]
