Today, I asked my father for some help paying my college tuition. He told me he'd help me after I become more accredited than he is. My father has 2 PHDs. I'm studying to be an elementary school teacher. FML

"when you get a full time job paying 50,000 a year then yes I will" "... But dad I want a lollipop!" This works in basicly the same way as said fml. Kinda harsh.

An education is the best investment you can make for your child's future, and the only thing a ****** up economy can't take away from you. And no, it's not just a "nice" thing for parents to do---if you decide to bring a child into this world, then you are responsible for doing your best to give him or her what advantages you can in life, including helping out with higher education since most can't get far without it. That doesn't mean paying for their tuition; it could mean cosigning their loans if they don't have credit, helping with scholarships, or saving some money for a college fund as they grow up. If I brought a child into today's world, I would never consider their future as "optional". Expensive cars, the latest Apple products, a 2nd PhD---those are optional. FYL OP for having a pedantic prick for a father.
