Today, I asked my mom how much she had set aside for college. She then looked and me as if I were crazy and said "Why the hell would I do anything like that?" FML

Today, I found out why my parents have been trying to convince me not to go to college this year. I also found out where the $20,000 they just spent on landscaping came from. My college fund. Which is now $0. FML

Today, my husband told his parents that he was quitting his job so that he could focus on school. They asked him what he was going to do for money. When I told them that I'd be the one working, they took one look at me and burst into laughter. FML

Today, I was accepted to college and received a scholarship equal to almost half the tuition. After sharing this news with my parents, I spent the next 35 minutes getting yelled at about how I wasn't allowed to go there because my boyfriend might go there. FML

Today, I had to stop going to university with 2 years left because my parents feel it's not the right course for me. I am 23 years-old, living with my parents, $2 to my name and no job. FML

Another advantage of having to pay your own way through school is you're far less likely to change your major five times and pick some useless crap like Philosophy that isn't going to translate into a real job when you graduate. Knowing you're staring down the barrel of $50K+ in debt is enough to motivate even the most slackass student in the world.

So when does it mean that parents have to pay for kids college education? You should have asked them that a while back, gotten your finances in order, to get it on YOUR OWN.

Since when are parents expected to save their entire lives to pay for their kids' college education?

Better get on with applying yourself for scholarships and/or loans instead of expecting mommy and daddy to pay for you to waste four years of tuition, spoiled little turd.
