We’ve been on 4 cruises, all “free rides” paid for by the in-laws. Does that mean we should be able to “afford to pay at least partialy for our kiddo to go to Stanford”?

Things are not always as they seem.



Maybe. However, I assume you would at least have good sense 1) not to go beg for a hand out from John Heald to celebrate your kid’s achievement and 2) not brag about an “accomplishment” of getting full scholarship to Stanford (though acceptance to Stanford is truly an accomplishment).
