[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Look, the situation is what it is. She has 30k she can decide what to do with. The rest is up to her. That’s not going to change unless she gets a scholarship.

Mostly, I want to know what to say to her to get her to stop lashing out at her step siblings and my H. I’ve tried talking to her and get nowhere.[/quote]

So that’s it $30K and you wash your hands. No food, no shelter?

Yea you are a b*tch.[/quote]

Of course she is welcome to live here during the summer or school breaks. When did I say she wasn’t?? I’m not “washing my hands” I’m trying to get her to see that 30k is a good deal if the way towards paying for UMD.

You don’t think it’s entitled that she expects more?[/quote]

University of Maryland is $28K a year including room and board.

It's not a good deal.  If you weren't married, and she got into a full need school like Williams she'd pay far less than $28K a year, and be able to graduate debt free.  Instead, you're setting her up to graduate from a school she likes less, with a ton of debt.  [/quote]

Of COURSE she's resentful.  Everyone else is doing just fine out of this situation, and she's financially WORSE off because you married a rich guy who won't chip in for her education.  His assets are almost certainly going to factor in, but they aren't doing her any good -- in fact, they will reduce her amount of financial aid.  She's not being treated remotely equally to her stepsiblings, and there's nothing she can do about it.  She's going to have to go $90K+ into debt for a school she doesn't even want to go to.
