[quote=Anonymous]Agree with other posters that you should be direct and share that you have to have this info, even if the answer is nothing, so you can do your own planning. Don’t share that you can pay for them yourselves, and don’t share any details of how this will be financed. I can’t believe the gall of your ex to complain about plane ticket costs when he chose to have 5 other kids so I applaud you for your gracious attitude toward his absolute negligence! Given that their dad sucks, I would try to continue to facilitate a strong and positive relationship with the grandparents. I would also give them grace as a lot of people are re-thinking retirement finances with inflation, real estate costs, and LTC costs rising. Are there non-financial ways that they can support DC and your family? Can they stay with younger kids while you move oldest into dorm? Can they visit for family weekend? I don’t know geography or ages but maybe they can support your family in other ways. [/quote]
