[quote=Anonymous]Please be careful not to spoil your Kid. you as a parent want them to not just get good grade, but learn responsibility!

Parents pay for NEEDS.. food, toiletries, school supplies. of course we'd never make them go hungry or sleep in the rain.

Kid gets job for any WANTS ...partying, pot, strange clothes, presents for boy/girls friends, beer, tickets to concerts...and bear some of the burden for education (loans) so that they are committed to NOT wasting their own future money.

So how much do you need for food, and basic essentials? $300 / month? case-by-case basis for everything else. Keep a log of how much they BORROW from you, present it to them each semester for them to acknowledge and sign. According to the law, they are adults now (vote, serve in military), we should treat them as adults too and require they be responsible if they want our support. I love my kids! that is why I think it is soo important to make them grow up. If you don't make them grow up now, they will not be ready when they are really on their own. 
I plan on having successful contributing citizens when they are done with college.[/quote]
