[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing works because they know you're full of shit. You're obviously not going to not pay for their college, they have you by the balls.[/quote]

That’s why you need to stop with the ridiculous threats and random meltdowns. It’s just like parents who cannot discipline their 4 year olds. You’re paying for college because that’s part of the modern obligation to kids, barring them failing out or something truly awful. College support is not a bargaining chip to get other things out of your kid. If you want them to follow household rules or pitch in, it’s because they are part of the household, not because you’re paying for college. So you need to come to that agreement in a different way.

“Modern obligation”? No. JD Vance joined the military for free college. Millions of kids do. Parents don’t have to pay for college. I’d argue millions of parents who do shouldn’t. Way too many immature spoiled brats who aren’t even prepared for college getting a free ticket to go have a four year long spring break. [/quote]
