[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One graduated public school and is on to a great school with merit scholarship.  Their entire school k-undergrad cost us $140k.  Second child spent 4 years of HS in private (over $200k) and is applying to a variety of colleges, public and private, some cost over $80k per year (so potentially over $320k).  That's what child number two needs - the large public HS didn't work for their needs.

We are not going to give child #1 cash because child #2 had different needs.  You pay for what your child needs, it's not a contest between them to keep score and make sure it's even.  You are setting them up for a life-long rivalry[/quote]

NP.  You're creating life-long rivalry by treating them differently.  You think you are treating them fairly from your perspective but not from theirs.  Ofcourse, it is your money and you can do it however you want but it comes at the cost of the relationship with your children.  You have to decide.

Only if you have raise entitled brats.  What normal 20 yo thinks---hey, my sibling got private HS for their learning disabilities, but I went to public HS, so where's my $100K?   [/quote]
