How to split money between kids/stepkid

Well done, OP! thanks for updating the thread, and good luck this Spring.

Thanks OP for being so open and for coming back to update. Good luck to all 4 kids in their college search.

Don’t co-sign loans for them if you can at all help it.

@3plus1mom - it sounds like you’ve thought carefully about a lot of the issues and were open to hearing different opinions in a gracious way. Good luck to all your kids and would love to hear how it all works out for each of them. It’s hard to imagine trying to get four kids ready for college in the same year. Best to you!
