I met someone this summer who has the attitude that they got scholarships and worked their way through college and their kids can also. 4 kids, first was able to receive a full tuition scholarship to local school, lived at home and has a good job. The next 2 have floundered around, not as smart as the first. Working at minimum wage jobs and trying to go to community college. Neither was able to do it. One got married young and is working, the other is taking time off to try and save money to attend college while working at a home improvement store. (4th still in HS).
Meanwhile the mother regaled me with stories of their travels, the new convertible her H bought her because she was so sad when her mom died, the condo they were planned on buying in Florida (and how she was going to remodeled it).
I could barely contain my rage. She was a friend of a friend. I hope never to have to be in her company again.
