[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]our kids are 29, 25, and 22. still bank-rolling their lives. it's like having a dental procedure that never ends.  :)[/quote]

Haha. What do you think contributed to being 3 for 3 on failure to launch?[/quote]

probably failure to cut the cords on our part... but, seriously, 2 are still in school (phd and md programs), the oldest one got his phd and doing his postdoc work so we are still happy to help him out here and there. it's not causing us financial stress. [/quote]

PhDs are fully funded. My sibling and I were both financially independent from the time we started our PhDs. I worked during grad school, not bc I had to but to make things financially easier for myself (afford trips, etc.). [/quote]

well, your parents did a better job than we are doing with our kids.  :thumbup: [/quote]

PP who is helping adult children getting advanced degrees. I just finished my PhD and my parents were instrumental in helping me. I was fully funded btw. I am so grateful to them and when I have myself situated I fully expect to pay for their plane tickets when they visit and give them nice gifts. They are financially secure and won't need anything from me but it is the least I can do. I am willing to bet your adult children feel the same way! [/quote]
