[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP's attitude to this young woman is horrifying.

OP, the reason her tuition is high is because your income was taken into account when she applied for aid.  If you didn't want your family responsibility for her college you shouldn't have married her father.  If you didn't have the resources for 3 kids, you shouldn't have had the younger two.  [/quote]

I was about to post something similar.  For all the people saying that step-parents have no financial obligations to college step-kids, be aware that your income is taken into account in those kid's FAFSAs and financial aid decisions.  The kids get totally screwed over by parents (step and bio) whose income counts toward expected family contribution but then refuse to pay for college.  [b]If you don't want to be financially responsible for someone else's kids, don't marry someone who is already a parent[/b].  [/quote]
LOUDER FOR THOSE IN THE BACK!

This is part of marrying a parent. OP comes off like the evil stepmother. [/quote]
