[quote=Anonymous]OP, regarding your original post, I suspect that this is a problem NOW because you don't want to pay for college

If you read my first response to this thread, you would know that I very much DO want to pay for college.  I have always wanted to send my DD to school and looked forward to that day.  It's a parenting privilege as I see it.

But I'll say it for the Nth time:

[b]THIS ISN'T ABOUT MONEY[i]

THIS ISN'T ABOUT MONEY[/b]

If I had 1 Trillion dollars I would feel the exact same way.[/i]

If you make someone feel hurt and excluded and disrespected and that they don't matter through your attitude and behavior, then you shouldn't look to them for much material support.  Jeff Bezos' kids treated him rudely and horribly, I think he would be well within his rights to say that needs to stop if you want my continued support.

I guess I just have a different view of parenting and how you should treat people.

I want very much to pay for my DD's education, and I plan to.  But I feel it is not only reasonable, but also good parenting, that there be some condition of kindness and inclusion in return.[/quote]
