This^. If it was $1400, could he a discussion but not for $400 when you can easily afford to help. [/quote]

Even at $1400, if you can afford to pay it for a kid who is in grad school and living on the bare minimum, why wouldn't you?  As long as it's not every weekend (ie they want to fly and are doing poorly in school), why not help them with their long distance relationship?

I did 18 months of grad school (that ran continuously, no summer break), and was a 7 hour drive from my husband.  We saw each other every weekend except 4 during that time.  We would either drive and meet halfway or one of us would drive.  We flew a few times, but with getting to the airport and back it only saved 1-1.5 hours many times, so driving was easier and cheaper.  But it takes a toll on you while you are in an intensive Graduate program (spouse was working so had it a bit easier).

That sounds a bit immature. Are you two very emotionally dependent on each other? [/quote]
