[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kind of a similar situation, though I am now nearly 20 years out of college.
My parents paid for some portions of my college--it was a state school so tuition alone was about $1,000 per semester.   They gave me a housing allowance that covered about 2/3 of the rent on an average apartment in the area.   They would not give me that money if I chose to live in the dorms.  So I was responsible for 
-1/3 rent
-books and other supplies
-food
-utilities
-transportation

My younger brothers got EVERYTHING fully paid at private universities (American University and Tulane.)

They were only a few years younger than me--my parents financial situation had not significantly changed or anything.

So--the way I look at it...when they get too old to take care of themselves and need help...I will give them the same kind of "help" they gave me, in relationship to my brothers.   As far as I'm concerned, my brothers should shoulder WAY more of the responsibility in that area.[/quote]

They likely saw this nastiness in you at an early age and decided to not throw good money after bad.[/quote]
