[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody said they weren't "fine".  But, it doesn't make sense to pay up the nose for an expensive college where the ROI isn't there.

You know your kid best, but I have a B student who would thrive in college.

The current cost of college makes us question things we never would before. In the old days, of course a B student would attend college.  I do think each child should get the same amount for college. [/quote]
didn't say they shouldn't go to college. Just that paying for an expensive college that has a bad ROI makes no sense.

My B kid is definitely going to college.  But given the cost of colleges these days, I'm not paying $70K/yr for a degree where they can't get a good ROI.   And yes, the ROI is important to us because we don't come from family money.  My kids need to get jobs where they can financially support themselves.  It doesn't have to be six figures. It doesn't have to be in STEM. My B kid doesn't want to major in STEM, and that's fine. But whatever they do or wherever they go, they'll need to be able to get good paying jobs, or move to a lcol town.[/quote]

Your household sounds like a fun place to live.[/quote]
we have family dinners most nights, and my kids go to bed at a reasonable time.  No divorce or major fighting  between parents. We provide healthy, home cooked meals, pay for and support their activities, and tell them we love them and are proud of them.

But, I do hate boardgames, so we are not a fun family in that way.[/quote]
