Sending a Child to College
Illustration★★★★SOME parents think that by sending a child to college they are
getting rid of them. What they don’t realize is that by sending
them away what they are really doing is increasing their phone
bill, their fuel bill, and the amount of counseling time. Parenting
will always be hard work.
The point
Parents think sending a child to college removes them, but really increases phone bills, fuel bills, and counseling costs; parenting is always hard work.
