His parents have paid his way the whole time without any concern of gratitude. He skipped so many classes, never studied - basically dicked around most of the time doing the bare-min. I think first year he even said something to the affect of, oh your parents didn't save any for you because they didn't think you would go to university. I only wish i had that kind of leverage now, instead of starting out with large debts and 3-4 yrs financially behind.
Maybe you can see why people like me have opinions of kids that had it a little better.

it's tough - when you're in a situation when you're working all the time plus school, you can't help but feel a little jealous of those who aren't working. it's not necessarily the right way to feel, but it enters your thought process.
