Imagine paying $18,000 for your kid’s first semester, only for her to announce she’s dropping out. The emotional rollercoaster is real—frustration, disappointment, and a little bit of “are you kidding me?” swirl together. It’s not just about the money; it’s about feeling heard and respected. The best move? Have a calm convo, set clear boundaries, and brainstorm alternatives together. Sometimes, the toughest talks bring families closer (even if your wallet is still crying). #Education #ParentingStruggles #FamilyDrama
