They didn't pay for things they felt were frivolous, but they were there when I needed them. I don't feel that I was spoiled, as I am extremely grateful that they were able to help me through college, and make sure that they know that still. I could not have done it without them, both financially and the instilling of a good work ethic.

I worked too and never had a spring break! Maybe I should take one now, lol! I too am still extremely grateful to my parents - I seriously could not do this graduate program without them! My parents pick up my girls from school on my long day (class 8:30 a.m. - 6: 30 p.m.), and my mom usually fixes dinner for us that night. They also are there when I'm crunched for time on a project, and help with the little one a few days a week since she gets out of preschool so early. I so appreciate them, perhaps even more now than I did back in the day as an undergraduate. I think it is wonderful to have such supportive parents, and hope I can do the same for my girlies.
