[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is hard reading this thread as my kids have a friend who has been treated horribly by the adults in his life. I met kids mom when our kids were in es. She had an affair, divorced, and remarried an asshat. Her  husband made it clear "he is not going to raise or support another man's child". In the house this kid lives in, their younger sibling gets everything - every toy child wants, new clothes, every sport kid want to try. Older kid gets nothing. Older kid had to find ways to fund everything. I know all 4 parents involved and they are some of the most selfish assholes I've ever met. Mom to kid is so happy she landed the guy she was having an affair with, she doesn't care if he hates her kid. This kid is a straight A student who works hard at everything. Her ex has mental issues and has no money. The kid is on his own in a family that has everything. It is one of the most disgusting situations I've ever seen. Step dad has a kid the same age as this kid. That kid's mom and the dad are both very well off. This kid gets everything he wants and physically abuses the other kid and steals from him. The dad looks away. My kids stopped going to their house for playdates because of this.

I think the grandparents who agree with this crap raised the asshole my friend married. [/quote]

I also know a family like this.  One woman I worked with had a kid and married another man and had another kid.  Woman's first kid was around age 19 and working
a grocery store job.  Mom wanted to spend $40 on a Christmas present for first kid.  Step dad did not want any of their marital money going at all to first kid.
Mother was crushed and told me the story at work.  To some extant I believe some of this is the fault of the mother for not making a good marriage choice.

OP,  prior to marriage with your husband did you discuss college plans and funding for your son and college plans and funding for DH's son?
This really should be discussed prior to marriage so if DH does not want to fund your kid you can start your own college fund for DS.[/quote]
