[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the "they took advantage of an immigrant kid" stuff.  They aren't nice and it's understandable that you don't like them but they didn't take special advantage of you.

I feel like I was fulfilling their obligations to their son.  We both worked several jobs through college and grad school. They could have made lives easier for us but didn't.[/quote]

My husband and I both took care of college and grad school on our own.  I don't get what your problem is.  Parents are only obligated to provide for kids until 18.  There is no obligation to pay for college.

Honestly, I never understood this. Does your child stop being your child the night of their 18th birthday? Why not educate them and give them a start in life, if you can.[/quote]

No, your child does not stop being your child, but eventually that child has to be an adult.  My view is that parents shouldn't control what their kids decide to study or pursue in college, so it really should be the kids who take on that goal and do the work necessary to follow through on it.
