[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't trick your kids into being responsible! Teach your kids your values. Set clear boundaries with them (if you blow off school and don't take this opportunity seriously, we will not fund another year and you will have to take out loans to finish) and follow through. It sounds like your DH was a dilettante because his parents didn't take the time to teach him otherwise. This is your responsibility as a parent, and if it costs you a year of college tuition to teach that lesson, so be it. The goal is to raise responsible, functional adults, not to save some money. If you wanted to save money, you shouldn't have had kids at all.[/quote] Its definitely too late for OP to try to teach her kids values. [/quote]
