[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in-laws don't give our DS presents but they have fully funded his 529 so we don't have to worry about college/grad school;  Much better than getting "stuff" that he'll play with for minute and creating clutter.  Tell them he already has every toy but if they want to keep giving presents, you'll appreciate them contributing to his college find.[/quote]

I have an ex-pal who is like you.

She was so dependent on her parents at 42 that she turned off so many friends with self-respect AND respect for their own parents.

Your parents owe you nothing; they owe YOUR kids nothing.  Taking money from them is absolutely disgusting.  I don't care if they want to do it.  You're horrible for relying on it, too.[/quote]

Such vitriol. You sound bitter. My parents and in-laws didn't contribute to my education (or my husband's) and I'm sure they won't contribute to our kids' education. However, I don't see what's wrong with the PP's in-laws already having fully funded her sons college education. Education's a great gift to give and much more useful than a Tonka truck.

You rant on about how her parents owe her nothing, but you seem to have no problem with gift giving, only with money giving (for educational purposes). Strange, but backs up the opinion that you're envious and bitter.[/quote]
