[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really feel for your DD. Not because of the $ specifically (she still has so much more than the average teen) but because it appears to me that she is out of place in BOTH new families. Imagine how that must feel. Both of her parents live rather luxurious lifestyles, yet there is not $ for college. That’s the bottom line as she sees it. She is a teenager.

In a perfect world- you and DH, and her father and his wife (all four of you) would sit down and discuss this together.  If that is not possible, you should engineer this discussion via email etc. I’m sure you will think of a polite way to do so.

Surely each new “family” (yes FAMILY) should contribute a certain amount that they feel is reasonable, and DD should pay the rest (or choose a cheaper school). It may not be as much money as her step siblings get, no.

This.  The post says that OP’s husband - who she lives with - is not her family. It also says that she isn’t part of her father’s new family.  Poor kid.[/quote]
