[quote=Anonymous]I probably wouldn't have clicked on this thread six months ago, but here we are as a family. We've had some health changes over the last few months and now I'm a lot more focused on our DCs being able to support themselves as opposed to being subsidized (e.g., money for house down payment, annual gift, etc). For example, one DC is very interested in being a school teacher, most likely at an independent HS. They like kids, they were inspired by certain teachers, and DC seems to think it might mesh with what are some of their attention challenges, etc. And heck, we need good teachers!

But now our finances have taken a bit of a hit and may for awhile. We may not have the surplus to do this as well as ensure that our care needs are covered w/o being a burden to our DCs.

Do we discuss with this DC now, while in college? Leave it and see how it manifests? DC probably doesn't have the skills or the span for consulting/financing/law so don't want them to go down a road where they might be miserable. [/quote]
