[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You paid half the rent for two years. And grad school. And college? Your kid is spoiled and needs to learn how to budget.[/quote] Needs to learn some resilience. The ability to figure out how to get places without a car. Or how to deal with a break-down. Like PP said, how to budget and live within means. Even if they don't need to do [b]those things[/b] right now, the [i]ability[/i] to do those things is very important. It builds confidence and flows to other parts of life. Needing to prioritize teaches a person who they are. Unless you plan to parent them for the rest of your life. And even if you do... what happens when you die? Will they know how to work a problem til it's solved? That's a learned skill, and by pre-solving their problems, you're robbing them of that very essential set of lessons. [/quote]
