[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP but if parents are covering tuition, housing, food, phone, other technology, and clothing/shoes, I'm not sure why people think that money earned over the summer and winter breaks wouldn't be enough for other incidentals? What are your kids buying that costs so much money?[/quote]

Waiting for someone to answer this question. [/quote]

[b]We were hoping you were smart enough to figure it out.  Apparently you aren't, which explains a lot about your responses here.[/b]

Anyway, here is a list of expenses our kids have during the school year:  books, clothes, food outside of the meal plan, snacks, coffee, sundries, decorations for their rooms/suites/apartments, gas for the car, printer cartridges, beer, fun activities, entrance fees, whatever.  I mean, what do you really expect?  These are pretty normal expenses.  Nothing weird or atypical.

If our kids had jobs during the summer, then we ask them to put that money into savings and keep it there.  It is our job to provide for them while they are living under our roof and we are not expecting them to have to pay for things out of their own money.  We don't want them to work while at school because their focus should be on their academics and we want their free time to be free.

If you feel differently for your kids then ... whatever.  You do you while we do us.[/quote]

also, this was uncalled for you RAGING BIIIIIIITCH.[/quote]
