What is your parenting style?

Authoritative - we are ultimate protectors and authority for our children, and establish the rules and guidelines, but we  don't abuse them, allow them to be self-serving, or not provide any and let the child run free without boundary. We examine ourselves to ensure we are providing the best tpe of parenting methods for the changing needs of the child. Believe in friendliness and a close bonded relationship, but built off of a lot of love, training, and respectful parenting that works both ways. We are friendly, but not the casual friend, we are the parent. This is done with lots of love, support and encouragement to become a confident,  healthy, assertive and independent adult eventually. Our kids know we have an unconditional love, self-less interest, protection, covering and safe place that friends cannot provide.

Do you plan/or did you pay for your children's college? Graduate School? 
Yes, as much as we can. Private School, College, and Graduate School, as long as it is the best environment for them, and as long as our child is thriving, we will do it. If they lose appreciation or slack off over time, we will draw back and place funds elsewhere until they are back on track. We also believe in having them work while going to school, however, as we come from a family of entrepreneurs.

Would you encourage your children to live with you to save money after graduating college? Would you make them pay rent? 
Depends on circumstances. I don't see myself or my husband ever encouraging it, especially since we both left home so young, but I would have to think hard of a circumstance where we would not allow it.
If we did allow it, we would ask for rent, but save it in a fund somewhere that would go back to them later (without telling them).

Will you pay for your son/ daughter's wedding?

Depends on the circumstances. Potentially. We would contribute in some way with a significant gift, if we weren;t asked to though. (Down payment on house, furniture, etc.)

Assuming your health holds up and you are located geographically close how involved would you like to be in your grandkid 's life?

Hopefully frequently (monthly, occasions, games, plays, etc.). But as involved as the parents will want me to be and as involved as I can afford to be. 
Again. Depends on the circumstances.
