[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO: Punish? No, that ship has sailed. Your baby is all grown up and is now facing real world consequences. You absolutely can have a discussion about that and offer to help your child strategize and plan for the coming struggle. Now is the time for advice, not punishment.[/quote] +1 [b]Natural consequences[/b] happen. That is not punishment. But you don't have to add more to the mix negatively -- and you shouldn't bear the weight of the burden for them, although you can offer advice, so long as it is up to them whether to take it. One natural consequence might be that you don't continue paying tuition, unless XYZ. That's not punishment. [/quote] But there really aren't any consequences for rich full-pay families or full financial aid kids. As long as the tuition & board gravy train is paid for, anyone can plow through a bachelors with crummy marks.[/quote]
