[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not reasonable. Your child is going to go to college as an adult. [b]This is a crazy limitation. [/b]If there is truly a life changing emergency you can shell out for a flight for that unlikely opportunity. It’s not about you anymore, it’s about your child becoming independent. [/quote]

So do you think not having enough money is also crazy? If you don't have the money, you tell your kids just like you tell them you don't have the money to buy them a car or a horse or whatever else they ask for. [/quote]

If the reason is money then let the kid pay their own flights home or limit them. I went to school cross country and only came home once a year, for winter break. If I wanted to come home more often it was on me. I stayed locally and got an internship by school in the summers and spring break. [/quote]
+1. However, I suspect that incentivizing limits on trips home is the opposite of what OP is hoping to achieve.[/quote]
