[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those financial promises were made when you weren't the ex. They no longer feel obligated. Maybe they can't afford it. 
I really don't think a grandparent should pay a grandchild's tuition. College is a choice not mandatory. It's up to you and the father to provide that.  
We bought the grandchild a vehicle and pay his insurance only because that's money we saved for him.[/quote]

This is the dumbest post on this thread, and that's saying something.

First, the divorce had, quite literally, no effect on the grandparents relationship with their grandchild.  None.  They no longer feel obligated to their grandchild because the kid's father got divorced?  WTF.

Second, it's perfectly reasonable that grandparents not pay for college, and no one is saying otherwise.  But these grandparents said they would help, repeatedly.  And now they apparently don't intend to, and don't even have the courtesy to state that fact.  That's the issue - the promise made, and not kept.

That said, OP is kind of a fool for relying on just "promises" to finance college.  [/quote]

OP is just mad that she has made a series of poor decisions (procreating with a dud, not going after him for CS, relying on the word of someone else to pay for her children’s education) and is lashing out when she should be mad at herself. [/quote]
