[quote=Anonymous]There's nothing wrong with it, and in fact, there is everything right about it. I have done the same with my own teenager. He is well aware of what we are willing/able to pay, and that more expensive pricetags are not an option. That said, I firmly believe that the time to have this conversation is BEFORE college applications are submitted, preferably well before. It is unfair, IMO, to allow kids to string themselves along, with dreams of certain schools, and then to pull the rug out from under them, saying "sorry, changed my mind." I'm not talking about changes in family circumstances that warrant or require a mid-stream correction, and that's not what you are talking about either. You have felt this way all along. It is too bad you and DH can't get on the same page. Now one of you is going to have to give in. I suspect it will be you. I hope, for all concerned, that your DS rises to the occasion and makes the most of his college experience.[/quote]
