[quote=Anonymous]I'm not reading snobbery the way some of you others are. I think she's trying to be incredibly generous and asking reasonable questions about the boys' futures. I agree it's not her place to get involved in their family affairs, especially since it sounds like they are not interested in her offer. But I think pps are a bit harsh.

If I felt like my nieces or nephews were missing out on an opportunity that I could provide I would feel similarly. I don't think OP is trying to brag, just clarify that they are well off and in a position to contribute. Most of the posters on here are also probably similarly wealthy so really don't have a place to judge.

There's probably more too this - maybe the parents can't provide college tuition for that many kids. Maybe they expect them to do it on their own. Maybe they really think college is not a good investment. Who knows.

I agree with those saying OP should wait until the boys are 18 and then they can ask what their future plans include and go from there. [/quote]
