Caught in a Tuition Tug-of-War
Our generous aunt has been footing the bill for her nieces’ private school education, using a secure portal to pay the school directly. But now, her sister (the kids’ mom) wants her to wire the money straight into her account, and she’s backed by her sketchy new boyfriend. The aunt is worried about her sister’s history of financial irresponsibility and doesn’t want to risk the girls’ education. This has caused a major family rift, with the sister accusing the aunt of insulting her rights as a mother. So, who’s in the right here? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this sticky situation…
