[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one owes the little sister anything.

If sister has issues she should leave instead of mooching off her parents while whining about how she was treated unfairly. Seems like parents did everything they could for these kids. Sure some decisions were not made wisely, but everyone makes mistakes. They did what they thought was best for each child knowing their child’s potential. Two of them made full use of whatever opportunity was given to them and the third one blew it. There is no one to blame for her failure but her.

Expecting parents to pay for your college education is insane. It’s not that cheap. If parents fund the education then it’s a huge favor they are doing to their capable adult child, they are not obligated to do that.

Entitlement and ungratefulness run really high among the youth of this country.[/quote]

Many PPs here seem to assume the parents are just cruel and unfair and should be forced to house an adult who makes them miserable. But I agree with this PP--the parents might have tried their best to make decisions that worked for each child, at that time, based on the family finances they had then. Some posters believe the parents should have had perfect abilities to predict the future, or should have just used an inflexible "one third each" formula...I guess, from the time the kids were all born?

I wonder if those "let them suffer for this" posters have made nothing but perfect life choices themselves? [/quote]
