I think back to when I was graduating high school, and there was never any expectation that my parents would pay for anything. If I wanted to go, I had to figure out how to finance it (either by applying for/earning scholarships or tracking down my own grants and loans). This didn't seem uncommon for any of my peer group.

Now I'm 1.5 years away from putting my third kid through college and wondering how the fuck I got suckered into changing societal expectations.

ETA: Oh, yeah. I just remembered all those years of paying on my (and my wife's) crushing school loan debt. That's why I wrote those checks for my kids. Ungrateful bastards. They'd better put me in a nice nursing home when the time comes.
