Your parents are deadbeats 
Your sister in college is entitled

You and that rich sister created and enabled both

Good luck! [/quote]

I always love it when Americans who have no idea how poor the rest of the world is chime in with comments like this. And lets be clear, I've repeatedly told OP she is not responsible for her sister's education, but this is the kind of uneducated, uninformed nonsense that boggles the mind. [/quote]

Which is why these poor people get the undergrad at home. There are many scholarships for grad studies. I think many immigrants can say that they got accepted to a prestigious university or an Ivy in the US and couldn't go, because they didn't have the money. In a poor country, $20K is A LOT. I got accepted to Cornell and didn't have the money required for room and board, my tuition was covered. Ended up in Europe for grad school and afterwards came back to the US. The sister and mom are catastrophizing.[/quote]

None of what you said justifies calling the parents deadbeats. [/quote]

NP. But the parents are deadbeats if they expect siblings to pay for college, and not just expect, but DEMAND and say it's the end of the world if they don't. It was up to the OPs parents to make arrangements or have less kids, if they couldn't manage. Or they should have insisted they get education in their home country, where it's either free or much cheaper. None of this should be on the OPs shoulders. How many siblings have you put through college?[/quote]

So effing uncultured and clueless.......[/quote]

Try not to swear in the thread. If you have nothing to say, just move on. Classy. [/quote]
