[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your problem is that you have inserted a whole lot of "we" into the process.  It shouldn't be "we," it should be your kid.  Your job is to tell your kid how much you are willing to and can pay.  That's it.[/quote]

No, that's not "it". You give you kid loads of advice and direction about many things, why should this one decision - the most impactful and expensive they will make for some time in their lives - be an exception? It should not, and it is not for most normal families.

You people that jump all over the use of "we" - I just don't get it.  "We decided to eat dinner at Outback Steak House" is fine but "We decided to spend $300,000 on CMU" is not?

Ridiculous.[/quote]

The people who say their kids can do it all alone must be full pay. We are in real life over here and working side by side with our minor child to make this enormous decision that we are paying 100s of thousands for...

It's fine as a PP said.
