[quote=Anonymous]We have this in my husband's family - one grandchild of may FIL's wife has private school paid for. I think its because the parents asked the stepmom and she argued it was necessary "because the child is so so smart." We never asked for help but would definitely take it for college if offered. My oldest went to a difficult to get into public HS, which is when my FIL told me about the private school he was paying for for the other child. How he was happy that our child was at a great school and "was also smart" but at a free school. Weird conversation.

Anyway, it's his money. I suspect FIL will pay for that child's college as well because the parents won't have money for college whereas we do. I wonder how expensive the college he chooses will be. (eye roll).

We let it go. We strongly suspect that we will not really get any inheritance either and that stepmom's kids will get everything if she out lives him. He's said that all kids will inherit equally, but I think she will change her will once he dies and give DH and siblings nothing. Its sad, but not surprising. But we will see in time I guess.[/quote]
