[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Look, the situation is what it is. She has 30k she can decide what to do with. The rest is up to her. That’s not going to change unless she gets a scholarship.

Mostly, I want to know what to say to her to get her to stop lashing out at her step siblings and my H. I’ve tried talking to her and get nowhere.[/quote]

So that’s it $30K and you wash your hands. No food, no shelter?

Yea you are a b*tch.[/quote]

Of course she is welcome to live here during the summer or school breaks. When did I say she wasn’t?? I’m not “washing my hands” I’m trying to get her to see that 30k is a good deal if the way towards paying for UMD.

You don’t think it’s entitled that she expects more?[/quote]
She is not expecting more, she is expecting equal to her stepsiblings. How do you and your husband negotiate other things? Does she routinely get less for holidays and birthdays because she is 'only' his stepchild? In a way, you and DD were a package deal, you need to talk to your husband. Have you asked him if he would be willing to help her at all? Does he understand how she feels? You do not, so I would suspect that he has no clue either. You can't be part of one family and expect her part of another. You have a melting pot of family so you and DH need to sit down and hash out expectations.[/quote]
