[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The agreement was that dad and stepmom would put all of their joint resources into kids until they got out of college. They also would provide some support in the first year after college but they didn't intend to pay for graduate school. The son now wants tuition for grad school. If he gets grad school then everyone has to get grad school so that really isn't an option. And future weddings, house down payments are a concern as well, especially since they will likely have young kids in school when the time comes they will have to say no or give very limited help equally.

[b]The stepmom does not plan to give extended help to her own children when they become adults and does not intend to pay for her own kids to go to grad school[/b].

It seems almost impossible to avoid the evil stepmother label unless step moms just say yes to everything.[/quote]

This is what I really wanted to know. I think as long as you treat them all the same, that's fine. Just think long and hard about and be sure that this is how you are going to want to treat your own future children--it's easy to say now what you will and won't do, but when you actually have them, your thinking may shift. I say this as someone who has been/is in your shoes.[/quote]
