[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love my wealthy in-laws to offer it (they never would.) But we can’t afford it on our own. I could get over any comments from them about it. [/quote]

Have you experienced it? It's not just a snide comment here or there. It's pulled out at the worst times. "I paid x amount for private school and you only visit me once in the hospital?" "I paid this amount for private school and you can't be bothered to help me do x, y and z?" "I paid this much for private school and you want to put me in an assisted living facility?" You are at a family gathering and she spouts "We paid this amount to put BOTH her kids through private school and she had the nerve to complain when I gave her a little parenting advice/asked her to fly down and help us with Y/fill in the blank." And there are the so and sos...."So and so didn't pay for her grandchildren to go to private school yet they visit ALL.THE.Time" or "So and So paid for private school and her grandchildren write weekly thank you notes, and do daily FaceTimes and visit every month!"[/quote]
