[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you provide any financial support, you deserve to see her grades.  It's that simple.  If she doesn't want to share her grades, she can work her way through college.  Simple![/quote]

I get this concept, I think, but really, the micromanaging of their adult children's school lives kind of bothers me. Maybe it is my experience, but I have to deal with 19 year olds in my classroom all.the.damned time harassing me for a better grade because mom and dad are going to lip out when they see the "B" or "C."

You're right, you don't have to pay for tuition if conditions you find necessary aren't met, but maybe you should step back and say, hey. It is time to let my ADULT child figure this out on her own. I think some parents do pay for college to help their kids out and don't want to see their money wasted, but really, it seems like most of them pay just so they can keep some control over their kids.

Like parents who help pay for a wedding then try to dictate every last detail.[b] At what point do y'all just let them go[/b]?[/quote]

when they start paying their own bills. :-) [/quote]
