[quote=Anonymous]If they want to go to college, they need to talk to their school counselor for guidance. I'd focus on building a relationship with the boys - without talking about college. Then when they are over 18 you will be in a better position to provide financial assistance. Forcing it now is not going to work. My BIL/SIL also did not prepare their kids for college. Their POV in their working-class community is that college is a waste of money because everyone they know (except DH) dropped out. Ironically, SIL did ulimately go to college in her 40s and completed, but with a degree that leads her to no career so she's still a SAHM. And still doesn't think college is a priority for her kids (now in their 20s and all supporting themselves although with some housing help from the parents)[/quote]
