My son didn't do well in his first quarter of college which of course we paid for out of pocket. He was taking his prereqs for nursing school.
We will continue to help with books however if he wants to continue his education he will have to apply for loans, etc.
$3,000.00 dollars down the drain; his grades were horrible. I told him he reminds me of several of the nursing students who I went to school with at Xavier University who had their parents footing the bill. Well the buck stops here because I work too hard for my money. Don't you?
Also it aggravates me because I paid for ALL of my nursing and law school tuition (the part that wasn't covered by grants and scholarships) with no financial assistance from family as a single parent. I can remember having him in the law library with me and I still remember the extreme stress and fatigue of studying for my first bar exam day in and day out and my son telling me I was a zombie because of the circles under my eyes and my blank stares.
I love my son dearly, but if assault wasn't a crime....
