College funding and money issues: When spouse does not share the parenting burden....

@happymomof1 Your BFFs daughter sounds very much like mine. Therapy. Community college. Back to her own school. Then repeat. 8 years. Glad to hear she eventually got launched.

DD undergrad degree is in international affairs. Masters in art history. There is overlap somehow. Again, we are in the dark. I get frustrated seeing so much being spent on what will ultimately earn so little. Jobs in art history are few and far between. She tells me I should be happy that she wants to be educated.

She has recently begun dating someone who she has determined will be “the one”. Makes me sad because while he is a nice guy, she appears to be choosing based on his ability to provide her a comfortable living rather than based on the strength of their connection.
