[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friends husband would drive 2 hours each way to help his son with his economics homework. Unbelievable.  He did this drive many times specifically to do/help with the economics homework.[/quote]
I think that is really sweet and helpful. He got to spend time with his son and they probably had dinner as well. Plus, if dad knew it and son needed help, why is this that different than paying for a tutor or going to tutoring center? Plus if you are paying all that money for tuition, why not help kid understand the material. Maybe his kid had a LD that you don't know about?[/quote]

It was a 2 hour drive each way on multiple occasions.  His wife (the step Mom) thought it was crazy but did not say anything to her husband.[/quote]
Well of course step mom thought it was crazy. It sounds it was on a a few occasions not every other day. I used to drive to DS's games in college. So did many other parents of kids' on a team. I think your argument here is weak as dad most likely loved going there and probably offered. I have two kids in college, rising senior and rising sophomore, I did not help with any enrollment or do I know what is going on apart from them telling me when they want to. I agree that many parents are nuts and are doing their kids no favors, but dad probably liked going to see his son. 4 hour drive is nothing in the DMV.[/quote]
Did you skip your reading comprehension classes? "The dad" drove 2 hours each way to do his --legally adult --son's homework. HOMEWORK.
There's nothing 'sweet' about it.[/quote]
