[quote=Anonymous]Has OP weighed in again yet?  The consensus is that this is ridiculous and OP you should just have the direct conversation, don't explain or make excuses, and if they ask questions, simply ask them straight out "Why do you think it's ok to ask us to pay for something for you that we don't even pay for our own kids?  If you assumed this would go past the end of the year, that was a wrong assumption.  If you need any help researching public schools, let us know, we know a lot especially the schools our kids are in."

End of story.

To make it more complicated than that, no matter what they say, is YOU enabling or allowing it to get complicated OP.

ANd by the way, you should cut off the financial support completely.  They may well come back with other "needs".  But you've done your part, and most importantly of all, if you keep giving them support you are ENABLING them being dependent sponges.  Cut it off.  It's actually what's best for them and you've done more than your part already.  Dont let your parents try to convince you of it either.

What else are you still unsure about OP?[/quote]
