[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Start by being more sympathetic with your daughter. Out of her half and step siblings, mom, dad, step non, and step dad looks like she is the only one who suffers financially.[/quote]

OP here. I am sympathetic and have told her that many times. But I don’t know what else I can do for her. She’s 17. I’m feeling like a failure as a parent given how she’s been acting ever since we had the official college talk. She told one of her step sisters that she only got into a prestigious liberal arts college because she’s a legacy, full pay, her father made donations to get her into a fancy private high school, etc. I felt sick when I heard about that. She’s going to ruin her relationship with them if she keeps going on this way. She should be mature enough to understand that she has no entitlement to her step fathers money.[/quote]

You could divorce her step father.

I can't imagine marrying someone whose values were so awful that they wouldn't provide for a child living under their own roof.  [/quote]

He makes good money but that’s not the same as being wealthy and having the kind of money in hand to pay for a private college education. People save for years for that. This was OP and bio dad’s financial responsibility. And the daughter’s (she will need to take out loans).

Many of us were quite successful with public college educations![/quote]

Do you know OP’s husband? Did he really make a donation re daughters college?[/quote]
