[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's say you are a Firestone or Pyne or Rockefeller or Whatever. On that case ds already has a million advantages. It will make zero difference if he goes to Princeton or to Lake Forest College or spends four years shepherding in Ireland. He will have a privileged life regardless. This decision has virtually no bearing on the trajectory of ds' life. It's just that you guys want this, that's all.[/quote]

Wow, you know your Princetonian families.  All you needed to throw in was Dodge, Henry and/or Whitman, and you'd have Bingo. [/quote]

Fords are a Princeton too.[/quote]

I m the OP. No, we are not quite on that level. We do not have a nationally famous family name and we are not legendary industrialists or something. Sure, we are privileged but not quite what you are describing. I would rather see my kids scrubbing toilets than live off the family money as you say. That is neither how we were raised nor how we have raised our kids.

Anyway thanks everyone for your perspective and input. [/quote]
