[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emotionally Unavailable Deadbeat here.  Yes, that is the difference. I do not want my kids to succeed no matter what, nor do I think they are always entitled to my love and/or generosity.  That being said, the constellation of privileges that they have received through the good fortune of being born to us is hard to describe.  They are hitting the lottery with us every single day.  It is up to them to make the most of it.  I have told them that if they want to become sanitation workers then I will support them, as Dr. King adjured us, to be the best possible at it.  I do not labor under any delusion that I am responsible for their happiness or success in life.[/quote]

So if your child was well qualified for college and would financially be better off living with you for 4 years vs getting an appointment or living with the other parent and aquiring massive amounts of debt that could financially cripple them well into their 30s or even 40s. 
You wouldn't let them stay with you through college because?
