[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt your D will hate you for life. In the other thread, the mom married someone new.

Doing this ended the D's chances of getting financial aid based solely on her mom's income. THAT'S what is so appalling. Mom did not think about or care about what the remarriage's impact would be on college fin aid.
Moreover, Mom only saved a total of $30,000 for her D's college education, despite the fact that for the last 5 years she hasn't had to pay rent and is employed herself.

Another odd thing was that though the stepfather won't pay college tuition, he gives the mom money for CLOTHES for the stepdaughter. It's as though their major concern is that she dress well enough to look acceptable to his friends and family.If he weren't paying for her clothes the discrepency between the way she is treated and the way her stepsiblings are treated would be evident to everyone.

If you're not married, the ballgame is totally different. Your D will be able to get fin aid. Moreover, while it's going well now, there is no way you can know that you two will still be together when your D goes to college. (The other girl is a senior in high school.) My advice would be to save any conversation about what, if anything, he might contribute to your D's college expenses until she is actually applying and you have seen how much aid she gets and the size of the loans she's looking at.

In the meantime, if your expenses are reduced because you are living with him, start socking away most of the extra money to pay for your D's college.

You do not know What other expenses that mom has and then a few years from now you’ll be mad because the mom spent all her money on college tuition but didn’t save for retirement some of y’all are dumb as hell.[/quote]
