[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a fascist cheap-ass parent like these other posters - I give my kid some dough for non-essentials, going out money and some travel/gas. He has saved up money from the summer but my message is that I support his school efforts and want him to focus on that instead of a part time gig. He's not out there spending it on hookers and blow, just a normal social life. [/quote]

DP. Raising kids to pay for non-essentials is nowhere near fascist.  What a bizarre accusation. Gifting a couple hundred for spending is an entitlement. Not that there is anything terribly wrong with a little entitlement. I just don't see why you jump to conclusions of fascist (unless you are a right wing troll posing as inflammatory leftie) or to the conclusion that not gifting would equate to a job while taking classes (or that that would be detrimental to studies). My kid works breaks and summers. It's enough for spending money, if we cover the meal plan. I was responsible for my spending money in college. I know that is back in the day, but I thought that was the norm.[/quote]
