[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
You mean you provide an entitled life style.

Your kid can't manage working PT and taking classes in college?  [/quote]

Nah, you're wrong. If you think giving a couple hundred bucks a month means entitled, you're just a Maga tool. Kid can work a job but doesn't want to because he wants to focus on his studies. I'm fine with that. Keep being a crappy parent, dude.[/quote]

DP.  I am actively anti-MAGA and kind of agree that hufting 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 and maga (unless you are a right wing troll posing as inflammatory leftie) or to the conclusion of needing to hold down a job while taking classes. My kid works at breaks and summer. Hustles baby sitting, pet sitting, even busks if there isn't time for something regular during breaks. It's not a lot, but it's enough for spending money, if we cover the meal plan. I also covered my spending money in college.  I thought that was the morm.[/quote]

You are outside reality if you think $200 a month is an entitlement. I'm paying for my kid to go to school and learn. Implying that he can't "manage working PT taking classes in college" makes you sound like maga and a jerk. Accept it.[/quote]
nah, you just sound like an over protective parent who doesn't think their snowflake can handle PT job and college.  An 18+ yr old can learn in college and work.  Millions do it.

I hate Trump with a passion, and my spouse is a lifetime liberal.  And we both agree on this, and both worked PT jobs in college. Great learning experience.[/quote]
