[quote=Anonymous]It's a game. Students do have genuine interests, but they are still kids. They need to grow, socialize, have free time to be bored, let their brains and bodies develop, be healthy with healthy food and exercise and sleep.  What is expected of them is insane and not humanly possible to do it all.  Parents help if/when they can because that is what parents do. That is literally our job. That is "family values" as I understand it.  It is not wrong for parents of means to use those means to support their kids.  Parents likely got to where they are by working hard and being supported themselved either financially and/or otherwise by their own parents.  I don't understand the scorn of parents who support their kids.  Kids are not independent beings at age 14.  The colleges/system created this stupid game so the kids and families are playing it... or not playing it.  It's a free country (for now) and you can choose to play or not.  It's not the parents fault and kids should not be shamed for having supportive families.  
As for graduating undergrads not getting jobs, it's not due to parental coddling - it's due to the destructive policies and changes from AI.  [/quote]
