[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We take NOTHING from our parents, either and are god damn proud of it.

theoretically (not snarky), would you take it if it gave your children better healthcare, or better education, or an opportunity your child really wanted/needed, but you couldn't afford?  would you make your child suffer/lose an opportunity b/c you're too proud?  [/quote]

I am not PP, but I think you and I probably have a different idea of what opportunities are good for your kids (and I mean teens/young adults). You might pay their living expenses so they could take an unpaid internship all summer, and I would have my kids working, because I believe the expectation of self-sufficiency and work ethic that comes along with it is more valuable. As far as education is concerned, I would pay for college and graduate school, as long as the kid had a plan and was going to make good use of his or her education. I would always pay for better healthcare.

In my experience, a lot of people who have always had easy access to money "need" a lot of things that they don't really need. [/quote]
