[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the stepchild carrying a full courseload? Obviously they are supposed to be studying and writing papers in addition to in-class time. If they are a part-time student that's different. It's all too common for second wives to not understand what expenses are age-appropriate for older teens and young adults. Housing etc really is horribly expensive. Be sure your perceptions are accurate. It's not realistic to expect the child to earn enough for living expenses while also carrying a full courseload, especially if they are in an expensive area.[/quote] None of this is her problem. Her husband should 50/50 split expenses for the shared kids. If her husband wants to generously support his first kid he can get a part time job. The 22 year old can go into debt or leave college and work full time for a year to save up money, transfer to a cheaper school, change degrees, etc etc. [/quote]
