[quote=Anonymous]My mother is similar. To her credit she set up a 529 account for the kids and put about $30k in for each. She reminds them frequently that she "paid for" college (it was actually enough for 1 semester of tuition, excluding room and board-certainly appreciated but not the same as paying for 4 years). I think sometimes they are just out of touch with how much things actually cost and how much is required. So it might be helpful to be specific about what the cost of the program, or whatever it is she is offering to help with, is and ask specifically how much help she wants to give and when. Have the conversation when the offer is made. [/quote]
