New wife has 1 teen child she brought to the marriage and I know that the childs father pays substantial child support and makes 6 figures. New wife has never really worked a real job and has lived off her husbands.
The oldest child just went to his dad asking for some help with summer tuition based on the fact that hes doing great his first year of classes. Dad said yes. Then stepmom came out, picked a fight with my kid by swearing at him and informed my son that it was “her money”.
Middle kid is the favorite so I am hoping when its his turn that his requests for some assistance with college fund might be honored.
The kids all want to go away to college to get away from all the drama and I support them in doing so. Middle kid only has a 3.5 gpa so not sure what merit he might get but time will tell.
I really hope that some of these private schools will get through this quarantine nightmare and not take away all the “benefits” for employees but I understand higher education is sadly a business.
