I have to agree.
No matter the intent, the original post sounded bad. I paid most of my way through college. Once I moved out, I never went back.
I've been lucky enough to be able to pay for our kids schooling -- thanks to some nice scholarships.
I've also had kids come home to stay after being away at school or out on their own. They had to follow some rules -- some of which didn't sit well with them.
They tell me now that they look back with gratitude -- which makes us feel good.
It wasn't always easy at the time, though.
