[quote=Anonymous]My brother and sister treated our father horribly (parents had a very messy divorce when we were young) and here’s what happened:

Dad first paid for sister’s college despite her behavior. She was ungrateful, accused him of stealing her scholarship money, and for a solid decade after graduating she would throw tantrums and demand he pay her the full amount of her tuition, even though he had already paid her tuition. They still have a bad relationship and she still treats him terribly.

Dad learned his lesson and refused to pay for brother’s tuition. Brother figured out pretty quick how to survive on his own and became completely financially independent at 17, which took away all leverage dad had. He still holds a grudge and refuses to speak to our dad.

Bottom line, 17 is a little too late to instill values, that should have been done years ago. Either way, you’re screwed. Give the money out of the goodness of your heart because she’s your daughter if you’d like, but don’t try to use it to manipulate her. [/quote]
