[quote=Anonymous]There was a whole recent thread on this that you should dig up, OP. I wrote there that my ILs are actually helping us with about 1/4 of college costs. Like your ILs, they always said they'd help, but getting them to commit and come up with a plan was very difficult in the end. And my spouse did all the talking with them, as they were spouse's parents. College is SO expensive now and I think a lot of times grandparents don't understand what they are even saying when they casually offer to help when kids are younger. I know it feels like a bitter pill, but at least your kids have a good relationship with them and that's worth a lot, too. Sounds like you saved enough on your own to handle it -- good for you for not counting on this outside resource!![/quote]
