[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you were unfair.

Your child earning that much is sacrificing health and time to make that kind of money. She doesn't need a horrible mother in her life who doesn't value her sacrifices.

Either you pay for all your children's travel expenses, or none at all. [/quote]

My dh makes that kind of money and he works an easier job than I have with the same amount of hours as I do to make 1/3 of what he makes. Don’t assume that hard work always pays off. Depending on the field, it doesn’t necessarily work that way.

Op, by all means pay for all your children.

Pp, don’t assume that the siblings don’t have jobs that provide value to the world.

The daughter said she didn't have the time. You think she's lying? And this isn't about which job benefits humankind. This is about a parent off-handedly dismissing one of their children's lifestyles. That is NOT OK. I would never treat my adult children this way.

No, I was responding to the poster who said “Your child earning that much is sacrificing health and time to make that kind of money. She doesn't need a horrible mother in her life who doesn't value her sacrifices.” I do believe she could have to work and I also think op should pay for all her kids. But the “if she’s earning that much she must be working crazy hours/sacrificing her health” thought process isn’t always correlated [/quote]
