[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my kids were good students, with a good head on their shoulders and a good plan for their future I'd help however I could.  Why wouldnt you?[/quote]

I can see arguments either way but at the end of the day I agree with this.

In my family 1 kid went to a cheap grad school, one kid went to an expensive grad school and one skipped grad school. I think my parents helped the two who went to grad school, and has helped the other kid send their kids to private school. I dont think anyone is keeping score-- rather my parents value education and would prefer their kids not go into debt for it if they can avoid it without sacrifice. [/quote]

But your parents helped each of their children with something education-related. OP appears to be talking about offering grad school money to only one child, and not the other.[/quote]

I should clarify perhaps that those payments were not at the same time-- I dobt think my parents had a certain amount they were planning to spend on each of us-- things worked out that way but they also could have worked out differently, and given the cost of 20 years tuition at private school vs cheap grad school it would be silly to suggest that we were treated "equally" if anyone really was keeping score.
