| Also, in regard to post #31, it sounds like you didn't fully approve or disapprove of his college list and let him apply where he wanted but on the other hand, you guys have strong views as to which schools you are willing to pay for and which you aren't (not just a budget limit itself). And in such a scenario, then it was very important to approve the list at the get go. For me, I would approve any schools my kids wanted to apply to but I am not saying that is right for someone else. The fact that you DO seem to have restrictions as to which schools you are willing to fund and which you aren't (and not merely a budget limit), then approving the list at the time he applied without giving a credit card carte blanche would have been fair. It seems that these limits are now being more directly told to him in spring. |
