[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In no other aspect of your life would you allow someone to enthusiastically and swiftly cash your checks for thousands of $s regularly but won't allow any questions whatsoever about the product from the payor,  that's a product that shouldn't be purchased and needs to go under.

Sorry, but this is bullshit.

Any contract signed by an 18 year old is their responsibility, regardless of where they get the money.  [b]Kiddo buys a car with your money the dealer won't talk to you about it.  [/b]Same for kiddos bank account or credit card, even if it is money from you.  Certainly anything medical.  You might not "allow" it with an auto or real estate purchase, but this time you did, so it is on you.  Don't like it, don't pay.

If you can't trust your kid, maybe you shouldn't anyway.

This entire thread has revealed a lot about certain methods of parenting that the posters must have been unaware would reveal.  Astounding.[/quote]

This analogy doesn’t make the point you think it does. Parents pay the college directly. The FAFSA looks at the parents’ assets, not the child’s, unless the child has been emancipated.  That’s analogous to a parent co-signing a loan, or actually buying the car themselves and letting the child drive it. The car dealer is absolutely dealing with the parents, not the child.
