[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you even have kids? And I ask that honestly because it sounds like you have actively discouraged them from succeeding. It is my belief that it a basic parental duty to set a kid up for success. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to pay for college (especially if don't have the means), but you need to guide them from an early age and help them find their way to gain that success. Explain that your child can look at the websites, go to meet with the schools when they visit his school and visit local colleges. He can apply without actually visiting the schools.

You sound like a really horrible parent and I don't like saying that, but I cannot imagine any good parent deciding that they are tired of hearing that their 17 year old wants to go to college. Did you go to college yourself? Are you jealous of the potential that your child may be more successful than you? If that's the case, there is nothing that will help your children other than getting away from you. You are not a good role model and your kids need exposure to better people who will encourage and help show them the importance of education.

Also, I don't think that there is any shame in being a manager at a fast food joint, but there is shame in a parent believing that that the only thing their child can handle doing. You have built into your children your own defeatist attitude and that's a true shame.[/quote]+1.  And I think OP is a troll.[/quote]
