What is your parenting style?
"Attachment parenting" until about age 4.   I've had a friend accuse me (kindly, not rudely  :) ) of being a "helicopter parent."

Do you plan/ or did you pay for your children's college? Graduate School?
We currently put a small amount away each month for each of our children (we have 4).   We will use that + pay for the rest as much as possible, depending on our financial situation at the time and also our child's dedication to their studies (we certainly won't put ourselves in a bad situation financially so our kid can party and fail every class, of course)

Would you encourage your children to live with you to save money after graduating college? I'd encourage them to live on their own unless they truly would be homeless without our help.  
Would you make them pay rent?  Yes.   If they were unemployed, we ask them to help with projects around the house (beyond just normal chores that every member of a household should do)

Will you pay for your son/ daughter's wedding?   All of our children are boys.   We will host the rehearsal dinner as that is tradition in our family.

Assuming your health holds up and you are located geographically close how involved would you like to be in your grandkid 's life?
I would like to babysit for "date nights" approx. once a month.   Since I have 4 kids, if they all have children about the same time, that would have me babysitting for date night every weekend. :)
If they ever wanted to go away for a week or so without the kids, I would be willing to do that too--but not more than once or twice a year.
