[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with 02:17.  I'd also like to add that even though the younger siblings may have gotten the parent to pay their college bills, it was done only after the kids threatened to cut off the parent.  ....  And after the parent was done with kids 2, 3 and 4, how much $ could be left for #1, who was already married?  [/quote]

Yeah, they sound like real saints.  And why did the parent need to pay off all of kid #2's tuition and then all of kid #3's tuition and all of kid #4's tuition before cycling back to see if there was something left for kid #1? Why couldn't they see what they had and what they were prepared to contribute and split it? Obviously the parents had no intention of giving to any of the kids, or they would have done it before the threats of cutting contact were made.

[quote=Anonymous] And the parent's retirement. ... No parent should be expected to finance kids' education expenses by sacrificing their retirement savings, let alone for for a married child's expenses.  [/quote]

Agreed. And did you miss the part about the other siblings being married too?

[quote=Anonymous]
OP's own parents could not pay entirely for her education, yet she somehow thinks a widowed, single parent of 4 should have the money to fully finance 4 college educations.  That's hard to do even when you have 2 working parents.

I got the message that the parents in law had money before the death of the one parent. And she doesn't THINK anything. The parent in law did actually pay for 3 college educations. Nowhere did I read any resentment from the OP about her husband not getting his loans FULLY paid for by his parents. It was the unfairness that he had nothing, they had everything. And then everyone thinks that they should just make nice and pretend like it's all fine.

Even if she wasn't struggling with a kid with special needs.

Oh my good God, entitled much?
This was THEIR money and didn't have to give a dime to any of them & the fact that you expected it, just goes to show how MONEY HUNGRY you are.

And then you go and hold a grudge for 20 years over money that you should never have expected in the first place... you've got some nerve.

Oh & since you keep bringing up your special needs child (who you CLEARLY resent, based on your posts).

Maybe if you spent a little more time with him & actually being present, you wouldn't have so much time & energy to focus on this nonsense.

You seem to have your priorities WAY skewed, as it seems like this is what controls your life, instead of what's best for your kids.

Self centered & bitter... what a delightful combination.
