[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah that’s pretty terrible.  I have a 15 year old DSS and am very lucky that my parents treat him totally equally (down to putting the same amount in his 529 as for their biological grandkids).

I would hold firm.[/quote]

OP here,

My parents are wealthy and they have money set up for college for my kids only. I am only child and they do spoil my kids rotten but I just will love all kids to be included on a holiday trip. It's weird to separate them. My husband parents are really nice and fair with all kids. Ex-wife parents live in a different state. I want all my kids to have nice vacation, money for college and normal childhood experiences. My parents are 65 and 68 years old, excellent health and retired.[/quote]

Look, OP. This is what happens when you have stepkids and complicated family dynamics. These aren't your parents' biological grandchildren. It's absurd to think they would spend the same amount on their two bio grandchildren as they would on the stepkids. There is nothing wrong that they've set up college for your kids only. Your bio kids need to be your/their first priority. The stepkids have an additional mother and grandparents, your bio kids don't. [/quote]
