He initially paid for the first semester of my freshman year, but then sold my car (which I had paid for and left at home) to cover the expense of the first semester of my freshman year. I don't know whether it covered the full amount - it was in the 80s so one semester of college was much less expensive back then. Of course, the issue here is NOT whether children are appreciative of parents who pay for them to go to college. The issue is that some parents do intend to pay for their children to go to college and then change their minds after getting divorced. I am going to pay for my kids to go to college not because I want them to thank me, but because I feel it's my responsibility as a parent to help them get this positive start in adult life. It is something I want to do and I can afford to do. If a parent doesn't feel it's their responsibility to pay for college, it is certainly their right to have that opinion -- but again, the issue here is that divorce can change a parent's opinion about whether or not to pay for college.[/quote]
