[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spend your winter holiday wrapping gifts at Wider Circle together.  Hopefully he will get over his bitterness if he spends some time wrapping gifts for families who can’t afford to buy gifts. [/quote]

What does this have to do with anything.  Op is pretending they are not wealthy and set this kid up.  [/quote]
Set them up? They’re paying $70,000 for crying out loud! Kid could go to 99% of colleges, he chose the 1% that would put him in debt. Play stupid games and you know what kinda of prizes you’ll get![/quote]

No. OP agreed to it, and she's supposed to be the parent in this relationship. An 18 year old cannot be expected to realize how hard it is to work AND study at the same time.

I fault the parent more than the kid here, simply because the parent is supposed to have more life experience and wisdom to foresee all the issues that might arise, while the 18 year old brain cannot.

What a bunch of BS. The kid has taken algebra- he knows what happens. You’re defending an adult man who’s upset that he can’t go to Starbucks while he goes to a good college that feeds him, houses him, and gives him a strong network and education that he can use to make money. His being pissed is because he can’t get a cappuccino on a random Tuesday.[/quote]
+1, you can tell a lot of parents here grew up rich themselves. I had no money growing up, so I don’t make excuses that “oh he’s just a kid”- okay? And he’s now an adult who needs to make his own informed decisions. People here are basically the kind who baby their kids into adulthood.[/quote]
