[quote=Anonymous]Our children are past the college age. What we saw was that someone like the DS in this case does not have the maturity to understand what he is asking of his parents (or himself) They literally have no grasp of what being in debt for a private college where they did nothing but party means as an adult -- because they are far from adults in their thinking (as evidenced by his grades and attitude) it is childish to say "pay for private for me" in the first place. But in the instance of our friends and relatives, they began to understand the real world when they were forced to make hard choices -- drop out of the state school and work for awhile. Join the military. Don't go to college at all. Eventually, they all matured and got on track. But just throwing money at a student who is as irresponsible as he is will not solve the problem. Your DH needs to stop putting you in the middle of this -- it is not helping anyone.[/quote]
