Complicated.
We are a blended family, my two DDs and 2 DSC. DHs ex wife is keen to send DSC to fee paying school. She cannot afford to send them and nor can we currently.
DH may have access to a trust fund set up before we married for kids education.
Our DC have all attended same school, eldest is already in high school and I have always assumed the younger 3 would follow.
Basically, DH wants to send DSC to fee paying school and use money from the trust fund. This may mean there is not enough for university fees for them later. I am worried it will drive a wedge between our DC and DSC and make DSC the favourites and could impact on our family in a negative way.
Eldest DD wouldn't want to go to fee paying school as she is already settled at high school, and I can't afford to send younger DD.
I am actually worried this might really affect my marriage too. I don't like to play favourites and I would send all or none.
