[quote=Anonymous]How are the family dynamics? Would it be tough for the oldest to know that they are sacrificing their school choice for their younger siblings? So many times the eldest kid of larger families ends up acting for the betterment of others rather than themselves/their futures. I say this as a someone with 4 kids either in college/recent college grads. Family dynamics is important. If your oldest earned UVA and you can stretch to send them, then maybe you should if it’s what they really want? They may say they’re good with JMU (which is also a great school by the way) but are they really or are they just saying that to make mom and dad feel better? Perhaps the younger sibs can work hard and earn their own opportunities? Or maybe split the amount saved so each gets a sum and then the rest is up to them? Why does the oldest have to make a decision based on their younger sibs?[/quote]
