[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp, I was with you until you started bemoaning the fact that you had to pay for college because you "didn't know".

This is about you, not your mom, you clearly begrudge him. Maybe he wanted to spend more time with his family. [/quote]

Well, his job for the government involves a lot of travel.  So we actually saw him WAY less- in fact for a few years he actually lived overseas, much to my family's chagrin.

Also, I forgot to finish my sentence about paying for college.  To clarify, we didnt know there was hardly any money in our college funds.  No one really told us, and my mother wasn't aware of the amounts because my father had told her there was more in them.  So when it was time to apply to colleges, my father encouraged us to go to expensive, private, out of state universities, with extremely expensive tuition.  The idea of getting student loans was never presented to us until AFTER our first semester, which was pretty much all that was covered by the college fund.  So we very quickly had to figure out how to fill out a FAFSA and apply for loans and look into transferring schools, but we were already attending extremely expensive schools and plugged into that school culture.

PP I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous to be complaining when it was clearly your choice to stay at the expensive school. You are trying to make yourself this poor victim of your awful father, but you chose to stay. Now you have to pay that money back. [/quote]

Of course I do. I actually didnt stay at the school, I transferred out.  However, one semester at an extremely expensive out of state private school steal means tens of thousands in student loan debt, as do the subsequent semesters at the cheaper school I went to.  Sorry, it's not as cut and dry as you are making it out to be.  A father has a responsibility to accurately prepare a child for their difficulties they are about to face, particularly when they raise that child with the expectation that those difficulties wont exist for them.
