I also expect to be able to bear about half of the re-payment burden because I do want to help pay for college. I've tried pointing out all the little expenses that I will NOT have when she goes to college too ($40 in gas per pay period for her, $30 a pay period for school lunch, marching band fees, etc.) that will, instead, go toward paying these loans off. My grocery bills, utility bills, etc. will all go down when she's gone. As she takes a half hour shower right now, I'm thinking about how much the water bill will go down...lol. My boy takes 5 minute showers, mine are about 10 minutes.. that girl is in the shower FOREVER. I'll be doing half the laundry I do now because she changes clothes so many times a week and brings me her dirty laundry from her dad's house when she's been there. The girl doesn't realize how expensive she is to support right now! When the boy is away at school too, my living expenses will be almost nil. I might only have a TV for an hour a day, can tolerate much lower temperatures in the winter than they can, eat the least amount of food, etc.

My dad recently mentioned that when I went away to college he started inadvertently stockpiling TP because he didn't change the way he grocery shopped for certain items. One day he was like, why do I have so much TP???
This probably makes more sense in the context that it was just me and my dad, so my absence really affected the delicate TP balance.
