[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah that’s pretty terrible.  I have a 15 year old DSS and am very lucky that my parents treat him totally equally (down to putting the same amount in his 529 as for their biological grandkids).

I would hold firm.[/quote]

OP here,

My parents are wealthy and they have money set up for college for my kids only. I am only child and they do spoil my kids rotten but I just will love all kids to be included on a holiday trip. It's weird to separate them. My husband parents are really nice and fair with all kids. Ex-wife parents live in a different state. I want all my kids to have nice vacation, money for college and normal childhood experiences. My parents are 65 and 68 years old, excellent health and retired.[/quote]

Your husband’s parents are nice and fair to all the kids because they all belong to their son. They treat all their biological grandchildren equally, just like your parents do.  How do you not see that?

The real comparison is your stepdaughter’s maternal grandparents—what are they doing for your daughters? I can’t empathize this enough: Your stepdaughters have their own maternal grandparents. You’re being really unfair to your parents in this situation. Your parents should be kind and polite to the stepdaughters. They should get them birthday and Christmas presents if you guys celebrate together. Setting up college funds and taking extra kids on an international trip are way way beyond normal expectations.
