I'm fucking appalled that her son had to take out student loans when she owns a beach house. Yeah, yeah, no one's "entitled" to have their parents pay for their education, but I don't have a very high opinion of parents who could but choose not to.

For all their faults, my in-laws were always happy to help with financial matters, including helping with my daughter's daycare and grade school tuition. My mom helped us pay off a car loan after she sold her house. Sometimes, with my in-laws, we asked for help, but there were times when they just offered to, say, pay for a month of daycare. I'm all for people enjoying their retirement, but I can't believe LW has all that material wealth, and knows her son and DiL struggle financially, and has never offered to help.
