She Used One Of Her Daughter’s Leftover College Fund To Gift Her A House, And Her Other Daughter Is Furious
This forty-seven-year-old woman and husband have two daughters– a twenty-five-year-old named Belle and a twenty-three-year-old named Elise.
And since she is an engineer and her husband is a doctor, they are quite well off financially. In fact, by the time both of her daughters were in high school, she and her husband had already saved a whopping one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for each daughter’s college fund.
Anyway, once they realized just how much they had stored away, she and her husband decided to sit down with both Belle and Elise to discuss their daughters’ future plans.
“Belle had always wanted to go to college, while Elise was more neutral about the whole thing,” she revealed.
So, a few years later, Belle ended up getting into a very prestigious but also very expensive college and wiped out their personal college fund to afford it. Plus, Belle was even forced to take out some student loans to cover the rest.
Her daughter has since paid the loans back a year ago, and everything worked out just fine. But Elise, on the other hand, decided to take a much different path than her older sister.
Elise chose to attend a local community college in pursuit of a business degree and landed a job with a company afterward. So, Elise never needed to dip that much into their college fund, and she was able to just put away the rest of Elise’s money.
Well, just a few months ago, Elise was visiting her and her husband and mentioned how they had seen a gorgeous house they had totally fallen in love with. However, the home was very out of her daughter’s price range.
“And I felt bad for Elise and discussed it with my husband, who suggested I give them the college money,” she recalled.

“So, I thought it over and decided to. Elise was very happy and cried a lot.”
Anyway, Elise has since moved into their new house last week and invited her entire family over to see the new home and celebrate. But, once Belle arrived, she was totally shocked.
Apparently, Elise’s new house is quite large and located in an affluent area. In turn, Belle had no idea how Elise got the house and straight up asked how she was able to afford it.
Then, Elise mentioned that she and her husband had given them half the money– which seemingly struck a serious chord with Belle.
In fact, Belle did not even speak to her for the rest of the family party.
Plus, the next day, she got a call from Belle, and Belle practically exploded on her. She got accused of acting out of favoritism by giving Elise the money for her home and treating Belle totally unfairly.
“So I tried to explain that it was the college money that Elise had already received, but Belle said that they had to take out loans despite our contribution; meanwhile, Elise would not have to worry about any house loans,” she said.
Then, before she could even finish speaking, Belle apparently hung up on her and blocked her. Yikes.
On top of that, Belle must have told her aunt– because now her family is also berating her for treating Belle inequally.
Anywho, her husband believes that Belle is just acting entitled and that the entire situation will blow over in time.
However, Belle’s comments have made her feel pretty bad as a mother.
After all, Elise did get to start her life with zero debt. Meanwhile, Belle was strapped with loans from a young age.
So now, she has begun to wonder if helping Elise out with their house was not a fair thing to do.
Do you think that Belle has a right to be upset even though they received the same amount of money toward their college tuition? Or is Belle just acting entitled? If you were in her shoes, how would you reconcile this situation?
