kids need to build character and earn in themselves like we did! do they not care about being independent anymore?

that's just stupid sounds like she's earned it.

This helps her get a much better starter home in a safer area and start building equity.

Bawdad did right by his daughter.

This is a case-by-case thing.

Giving me money when I was that young would have been a mistake.

But a friend’s father bought each of his children their first house when they married, and that was a big boost for them. They had no monthly rent/mortgage payment starting out, and of course they had the value of the house to carry forward when they moved.

He said she got into Metairie Academy when she was 4 and saved him 12 yrs of Catholic school tuition (she progressed through JP's magnet system). Got a full ride to SMU as well. He said he saved what he would have paid for her education in an account in her name. When she graduated SMU, he told her she had this money.


She did earn her own way homie. Her dad just gave her the actual dollar amount of what she earned in a lump sum payment. Pretty standup move by the dad, as some people like yourself would have selfishly spent that money instead of giving it to their kids.

Its strange. Growing up everyone couldn't wait to graduate HS and turn 18. No one wanted to have their parents around. Today parents go on senior trips with their kids, etc.. It seems like parents are much more involved in their kids life post HS.
