Dealing with Favoritism by Grandparents

[Consolation]

<p>

the younger Ds are not academically inclined and the GPs see giving money to the oldest D as some kind of merit scholarship.OP mentioned in another thread that his step D doesn’t have the grades and will go the cc route.

</p>

<p>The step-D was not one of the 2 younger girls to whom he referred. The OP has not stated the slightest expectation that the GPs would chip in for a girl who is not their grandchild. In fact HE is planning to finance her education with no contribution from her biological father.</p>

<p>

According to the initial post by OP, grandparents made a vague comment in the past. It might have even been from before the divorce.</p>

<p>However OP remembered that apparently off-hand comment and then brought up the subject later to pin down details.
It does not sound like Grandparents had made repeated offers as did the Gps that others have alluded to, because it was OP that even brought it up again, not the grandparents.

</p>

<p>Frankly, I think you are stretching this, and making the OP seem unreasonable. Yes, this may be the scenario, but there is no evidence for it. It is just as likely that the GPs have all along said things about how they would “see that D1 was able to go to the college of her choice,” or whatever, then backed off when they were asked for actual figures. According to many other posters, that sort of thing happens all too often.</p>
