re: Is a parent responsible to pay for their kid's college?

If you can afford it, you do it. If you can’t, you do whatever you can to help them acquire the means to pay for it , whether that is loans, a job, a grant, a scholarship, etc.

Isn't that what I said? I said, if you can act as a bank for them, do it. That doesn't mean you don't make them pay it back because there's a lesson to be learned in paying your own way. It's not about the money. You're always a parent, so you should always be trying to teach. It's a teachable moment.

I get the sense that people don't necessarily disagree with the points I make just that they don't like the tone of my posts. I see people saying essentially the same thing on this thread and getting upvoted for it
