[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with the other posters. Your husband saying HE will write their essays at the deadline is a huge red flag to me. Help them, yes. But write them for the kids? That's awful and teaching the kids horrible life lessons. I would try to compromise with your husband/the kids and figure out a reasonable schedule. If they want to apply by October 15 and November 1, you need to tell them they need to have a first draft done by X date and they will not get their devices/car privileges until the first draft is done.[b] I would absolutely put my foot down and not let your husband write the essays for them.[/b] You can be flexible on not applying early decision, whatever, but allowing a parent to write the essay will lead your kids to think someone will always be there to do their work for them and bail them out.[/quote] How do I do this? I don't know how to "not let" my husband to bail them out. [/quote]
