[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, drop the "Harvard, Yale, Princeton, UVA" line of thinking. That just makes you sound clueless. We need to know more about *why* you didn't insist on applications --- last year.

There's a story there ~ I'll bet you wouldn't pay.[/quote]

Op here...I encouraged him to apply to all of those schools and he said he would and I thought he did. My income and/or will to pay is not of discussion in this conversation. He lied to me and DH when he said he would apply and didn't.[/quote]

All of the parents I know are pretty involved in helping their kids with applying to college and visiting schools, especially if they are on the caliber of a Havard, Yale, etc.  Your story doesn’t make sense.  [/quote]

+1. There is a middle ground between helicopter and total laissez faire parenting. This falls firmly in the latter category. Allowing him to sit at home doing nothing is also indicative of that- I don't see much parenting happening here at all. Even if he is legally an adult, you should be providing guidance and support, not just supporting him financially or he is going to be a total failure to launch. This needs to be turned around and fixed ASAP because it's off to a pretty rocky start. [/quote]
