[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I see this correctly:

1. You married up and are reaping the financial benefits
2. Your ex is financially reliable, but he married a professionally successful woman and your DD is not included in their "nuclear family" so sees no benefit there
3. You think your DD is entitled and bratty and should be concerned about her relationship with siblings to keep your life smooth.

I think she will take your 30K, spend it on whatever college she decides, then ditch you and her bio dad. As soon as she's fully independent, your relationship with her will be done.  I don't think you'll mind all that much because you don't really care about her anyway. [/quote]

point 2 Financially "unreliable"[/quote]

Ex is financially unreliable. DH's ex-wife is the professionally successful woman in this situation.[/quote]

Got it-- OP said DH wife (not ex) so I thought it was her ex's wife. Here's what happens-- my parents didn't put me first when I was growing up. They put other people first. Now I'm almost middle aged and they are older. The people they put first are gone through death or divorce--and now they call, but I don't pick up. We all live in states where I won't be required to help them with any elder care costs. I'm not punishing them--I just am not emotionally attached to or feel responsible for people who did not take care of me when I needed it. [/quote]
