[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents paid for college and I worked hard and did well. It didn't even occur to me not to frankly. Same with DH. My DC is now in college which we are paying for and is working hard. I think it has to do with the values you instill, not whether you require them to work. [/quote] This, my parents paid for my and my sisters college and advanced degrees. We never took advantage of the situation or them and appreciated it. I even more appreciated coming out of school without debt and them unexpectedly helping us with a downpayment (never promised) for our house to make it more affordable. Some of it is parenting and the particular child. I think making a blank statement that you need to pay for it is silly. In all reality, they are paying for it via loans many years later. We never heavily drank, heavily partied and knew the expectations and followed them. It was not a big deal.[/quote]
