Hi there everyone, Thanks in advance for your time and help. I really appreciate all of it. I followed a path in which some of my decisions could have been made very differently. However, when it comes to matters of the heart and a series of incredibly dark depressions, you're bound to make...

I have an idea but I want to get some opinions before I commit to it. We have our son's first birthday coming up in the beginning of February. He's the only grandchild on both sides (as of now) and he got spoiled on Christmas and has more toys than he needs. Our gift to him is we are...

Just talked to DD. She is a full-time student at the local community college. She is there on a full scholarship, but she may lose the scholarship next year, because of financial problems with the scholarship program our state has, they announced they will only be able to continue the highest...

I know that a college education is important and I fully intend for my dd to attend a 4 year college and earn her BA, however, I don't feel it's right for my ds. My dd works hard and has lofty goals but my ds is just adrift. I don't think he would do well in school. So, my question is not if...

Its been a wonderful day. She graduated cum Laude. She only liked 300ths of a point graduating Magna cum Laude. I'm so proud of her. She has worked so hard. She's a secondary ed major with a focus in English. She's going to take some more Praxis so she can teach other fields also. I am one very...

I went to my DD1's online college bookstore tonight to check book prices. Wow! About $600 for four books! And these are just pre-req classes. Any ideas about how we can buy books for less $?

I'm just wondering if its as bad in your area as it is here to try and find a summer job. My dd has 1 more semester of college and desperately needs a summer job to help pay expenses. With gas prices so high she will have to find something local because she can't afford on minimum wage to drive...

Dd (a freshman in college) just ranted how everyone she knows is going somewhere for Spring break while she is staying home and working. She doesn't understand how you can take out a loan for college and then spend money going on vacation. I hope she retains that attitude for the rest of our...
