[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents are not obligated to pay for college
Kid is adult after 18[/quote]

Parents are not obligated to pay for college. A good parent has a conversation with their kid, especially one who is on a college track and a very competitive one in this instance,  about what they will/will not be paying for in re college. My parents, blue collar workers, told me when I was nine or ten, that they would not be paying for college. (As I got older, I realized what they really meant was "we can't afford to pay for college because we don't always have money to get through the end of the week.") I school shopped accordingly.

I don't think a kid who grew up in what sounds like UMC conditions and has one parent rolling in the dough made an unreasonable conjecture that there would be money for college IF the parent never had a conversation with the kid about it. Again, I don't think the dad is obligated to pay, but he is obligated to be a parent and he really failed here.
