[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would start a 529 for them but not tell my sister. I would also take each one or two a time to spend time with me. I would try to be as much of a positive influence as I could. I would make sure they have things like a laptop in HS if the school does not provide one. Depending on my financial status, I would send them to an enrichment camp to foster a strength and interest of theirs. I would give no money to my sister, unless it I’d directtlu to a program for her to get a certificate or degree.[/quote] I agree--I'd be open to helping out the kids in specific ways, including things like paying for camps related to their interests and talents, or tutoring if necessary, or college funds. But I would not commit to paying private school tuitions for several kids (it's two now, but you know the sister would expect it for the other two eventually) who have the option of attending good public schools.
