I have not posted here for a while as I have not had much going on but now I do....W is pressuring her parents for money to back to school. She wants to get a Masters of Fine Arts...and that is fine but it bugs me....they paid all her undergrad----in art---I had to put myself through with a combination of student loans and working lots of crazy jobs! I know I can't be jealous---I ended up with a strong work ethic and strong sense of responsibility but where does it end...do they pay for my kids college as well? and their retirement...It is hard for me to compete with her parents because with me she has to be an adult with them she can go back to college! Debt free! They also have set up retirement account for her and add to that monthly!
But I digress! If my W decides to go to school out of state what should I do? I think she wants to go live with some old hippie friends of hers that I don't approve of...she wants to take the kids to see them in Las Vegas for Thanks Giving and I can't say anything because if I do then I won't be able to take my kids out of state to see my parents.... Good Grief!!!
