[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  You are way off base.  I would be very proud of my husbands children if they went to good schools and got good jobs.  I would be equally as proud of them if they went to trade school and were happy doing whatever trade they choose.  My children will not be going private so there will be no Big 3.  As I stated earlier, [b][i]I have knew the deal going in that he supports the ex-wife and his children.[/i][/b]  [b][i]As for DSS attending graduate school--I don't think parents should pay for graduate school.[/i][/b]  At what point do children have to take responsibility for their own actions?

I'm really not sure where these comments came from: "pay for an exceptional education for your own kids, a beautiful house, vacations to Europe, luxury cars "

My kids will go to public, we live in a house that I bought long before I met DH, no one goes to Europe and my car is 10 years old.  The car I suspect will be a new purchase soon.  The transmission kicks and at some point I am going to have to accept that I need a new car.

So where are your comments coming from?  [/quote]

OP, if your DH wants to help his DS with graduate school you would be opposed to this as well?  It sounds like you did not, in fact, recognize that the deal going in was that DH intends to support his ex-DW and children.  If he can afford to support them as he wants, he should be able to make those decisions.[/quote]

Yes, but I'm also opposed to paying for my children to attend graduate school.  DH and my finances are co-mingled.  There is no his and hers.  What we can afford to do, we do for all 4 children.  [/quote]
