Yeah, that’s real smart, you tell them what time to be home and what to wear, but don’t have any involvement in the first big consequential, expensive decision they will ever make.  That makes a lot of sense.

That’s sarcasm, of course.  It’s incredibly stupid.  It’s a family expense and [b]a family decision[/b], and good family work together to make good choices and help out.[/quote]

My kids have three siblings--which are of course, part of "the family."  I can't imagine any of my kids being part of a "family decision" on where their sibling goes to college.[/quote]

You can't imagine, but it's true, unless you have unlimited $$$ to spend.   For most families with 4 children, when the oldest choses where to go, the fact that there are 3 more coming up is a major consideration.   And if one of them has special needs, be it a disability or being a world class cello player, that's part of the decision too.  [/quote]
