[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not an excusing your ILs, but it sounds like they made these commitments before your EX aired 5 more children and remains broke. They may be more focused on how to make sure those kids don’t starve or grow up feral vs supporting your son who it sounds like he (and you!) are going to be fine. [/quote]

Last time their "aired" their commitments was at this year's Thanksgiving. So...go figure.[/quote]

Any chance they're meeting with their financial planner to figure out what they can afford to give?  The old people (of means) that I know have EOY meetings with their "finance guy" to figure out optimal charitable donations, etc.  If they'd said this when the kids were born I'd say they don't have the money but since they said it last month (and your kid just got in; no tuition has come due yet) I think you might be jumping the gun to be so furious over their broken promises.

Then say it. "Congrats, grandson, we are meeting with our financial advisor, let's see what we can do"[/quote]

As they say, "Actions speak louder than words." I don't understand this insistence that there must be a confrontation where the grandparents say the words to appease OP. Just take the high road and know that their word is worthless going forward. [/quote]
