To add to that ... if the parent and the new spouse have agreed that the spouse should stay home, the new spouse needs to understand that he/she needs to support the stepchild's schooling!

That is my comment, and I am sticking to it. Choices are made in life, and every choice has its own set of consequences. If mom chooses to stay home, that is fine. Just don't expect anyone else to pay for college if mom's FAMILY income is such that she *could* afford to pay for her childrens' education. There are affordable alternatives if the step-father chooses not to spend his money that way. No one is keeping the kids from going to school.
