[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in-laws paid for PK-12 private and put about 100K in a 529 over the years. We never asked for a dime and never would have. My in-laws brought it up each year when the deposit was due (my MIL always remembered it was due in the spring), and each year DH would have a conversation with his parents about paying. He assured them we could cover it and talked through their current and upcoming expenses. Our DC is their only grandchild, so I'm sure some of their decision was based on the idea of "you can't take it with you." There were no strings attached, and it make them incredibly happy to do this for our child. We could have covered the tuition, but it sure was nice not having to pay!

If there are no strings attached, and it doesn't hurt them financially, I don't really see why people are opposed to the idea of grandparents paying.[/quote]

I think posters are only opposed to grandparents paying if the posters don't like their parents/ILs, but take the money anyway, or ask for money, as if it is owed to them. Yet, different posters might be jealous of generous parents/ILs.[/quote]
