[quote=Anonymous]Both my older kids have already graduated but we controlled their educational trust (thanks Grandpa!) so we ultimately had veto power. We wanted both kids to go places where they'd be successful, and happy. I wanted to hear all their reasons for things, because they thought of things i didn't. Like, I wanted my son to consider Cornell, but he said too many people commit suicide there, and although he didn't talk about it, he felt like he fights depression and thought it might be harder there. This is a good thing to know. My DD was considering UCLA and we thought she'd LOVE CA, and love one of their extra curriculars, but then she pointed out how huge the campus was and that she wanted something "a little more huggy, and little less lost at the outlet mall the day after Thanksgiving." Both kids wound up at schools on the West Coast and we made them calculate the costs of flying back and forth for four years, just so they recognized it as a cost. [/quote]
