[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think both are perfectly acceptable responses, except that your child should always be congratulated BEFORE talking about how expensive his college is. I suspect you're a little oversensitive about this. [/quote] Agree, I'm not sure why this is such a puzzler to people. Are some of you under the impression that college is NOT expensive? Newsflash: It's far, far more costly, relatively speaking, than it was when we went to college. So yeah, "Wow, that'll cost you!" should be taken as a statement of the obvious, no more. Kind of like when someone said to you today, "Wow, it's a scorcher out there!" The answer is, "It sure is." or "Indeed." or "You can say that again!" No need to share any secrets about financial aid or your giant paycheck or your child's trust fund or that you expect to end up in the poor house. Anyone who asks about or expects to hear about things like that *is* being rude.[/quote]
