What is your parenting style?
Authoritative, generally want my kids to do the best they can.  But we try to avoid setting unrealistic expectations

Do you plan/ or did you pay for your children's college? Graduate School?
Will pay for public or will pay for private if they get into a first-tier school. We do not want out children to go to school while working several jobs and taking out lians, as we both did. However, will try to impress upon them that they have to come out of college either prepared for a good grad school or having a profession.  With grad school, we'll consider it when the time comes.

Would you encourage your children to live with you to save money after graduating college? Would you make them pay rent?
Yes.  But it would not be a free ride - we would expect them to contribute, financially or in other ways,

Will you pay for your son/ daughter's wedding?
Depending on what they want, we will contribute.  Again, we want our children to have more than what we had (a justice of the peace and a cheap restaurant dinner).  But I hope we raise them well enough that they know that a big fancy wedding does not necessarily guarantee happiness.

Assuming your health holds up and you are located geographically close how involved would you like to be in your grandkid's life?
Am happy to cover some evenings, weekends or vacations, but would not want to be the primary caretaker.[/quote]
