[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, what do you mean they were talking about it on social media? Like, they said "haha, we're paying for McKenzie but Tyler had to pay for his own education." Or... I just can't picture this or understand how you know about it. [/quote]

Specific to Facebook, the parents are documenting visits and tours of about a dozen colleges. In the comments, expenses come up, and they make references to financial help they will provide. Some of the college visits are private, some are out of state, so these are expensive.

When the oldest were high school seniors they were told zero help for college expenses. They did not visit a single college with their two oldest — let alone traveling hundreds of miles to campuses.[/quote]

Maybe they learned from that experience with the oldest and realized that they should do better for the youngest. I am much more on top of things for my youngest compared to my oldest - they're not at college age yet but I just have more experience the second time. [/quote]
