[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 708373, member: 1550"] A dad...you have merit. But most of our kids who bring us here are not making good memories, but are doing drugs and getting into criminal like trouble. And many of us in the U.S. cant afford to fund their fun while they goof off in college. College is the price of a mansion in the U.S. Most of us who live here (not necessarily on this forum, but the mainstream of Americans) cant even afford college without the help of loans and grants. People must pay their loans that can add up to $100,000. No joke! It can take a decade to pay back. I do agree about taxes. We still do taxes for our youngest, one of the very few things she doesnt do for herself. Sometimes i even call to make dental appointments for her...or call people for her. My husband is a mechanic and fixes all her and boyfriends cars and doesnt charge them for any costs incurred. And we have a small income. Nothing extra. We still do for our thriving kids but probably would do less for kids who were just screwing off or, worse, on drugs. Thats like helping them do nothing with their lives. Or helping them afford to get high. Keep posting, a dad. You have a great different than American refreshing perspective. I very much enjoy "talking" to you :) [/QUOTE]
