[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of it is fair. Sibling 1 should not have offered, given that none of the other children of sibling 2 were offered money for their education. Sibling 3 is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!

Sibling 1 should rescind the offer.

Sibling 2 just has the one kid. [/quote]

OK, but it doesn't change the conclusion. I bought in a very expensive school district to send my kids to the good publics we have in our area. I do not want to send my kids to private, and if I did, I would have planned things differently. [/quote]

But S3 does want private school.  His kids were in private school before the offer. [/b]

So Sibling 3 has the money to pay for privcate school but just wants rich Sibling 1 to give him the money because poor Sibling 2 could not afford it? Oh no way. You didn't include that detail in the first post, OP! Sibling 3 is a terrible moocher. [/quote]

S3’s kids attended parochial school before the offer was made, so S1 picked up that bill.  But, S3 wants the same kind of school that S2 attends, which they can’t afford without making changes they don’t want to make.  [/quote]

Sibling 1=kids out of college. aunt/uncle willing to pay 10k annually for sibling 2's 1 and only child.
Sibling 2= unable to work, 1 child, not great schools.  Child accepted to great private.
Sibling 3= has home in fine school district and 3 kids.  Sibling 1 paid for parochial which is not the same total cost as the Sib 2 child's private.

Sibling 1 is not a parent or grandparent so throw out the equity argument. Sounds like Sibling 1 was very successful and needs to extricate himself/herself from the grifters for their own sake and that of their own children and possible future grandchildren.  Financial requests might not stop at K-12 tuitiion and could expand to cars, college, down payments.  [/quote]
