[quote=Anonymous]I am a genX parent of a teen and I take care of my elderly parent so I’ve been thinking about it a lot. It all boils down to willingness to put in work and/or money, plus ideally living in a place that has a lot of memories for the kids. Don’t encourage them to go away for college unless they really, really want to. Staying close (even if living in dorms) is a good idea as they’ll visit you for college memories if nothing else. Pay for the tickets and rental car. Cook homemade meals or order in some nice food. Don’t buy frozen crap, they can do it on their own. Offer to babysit while they visit. Offer to take them on trips instead of having them visit. [/quote]
