GenY must surely be the most irresponsible generation ever. Kids never drank alcohol or had sex in the 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s.

When I was a teenager, we spent our free time doing calculus, knitting with our mothers, and tending to our stamp collections.

Chops, I don't think he was upset about paying her tuition; but rather her wanting an all expenses paid vacation just for finishing. Perhaps there's a good lesson there - you have to work and save in order to get what you want

Agreed. Working say 5-12 hours a week in year 12 isn't going to be much disruption to study, but should be easily enough to save $1-2k for schoolies.

Hmm a touch sarcasm of there. How not true really as I and my peers did all of those things, with one slight variation. I didn't expect or ask my parents to fund those activities.

And to clarify, my wife and I have willingly have foregone one business class round the world trip each year to fund the education of our children at the educational facility of their choice to afford them the best opportunity in life we could afford. But it has been made perfectly clear to them that, on that basis, the Bank of Mum and Dad is closed.

Bank of Mum and Dad is closed.

That happened to me a few yrs ago now

I still try and make withdrawals occasionally (still at uni), but the bank seems to be suffering similar financial problems to others in the world and is now demanding repayments for any new outgoings as opposed to re-negotiating increased funding...

Body piercing and beauty salon actually. They line up out the door to get needles shoved through them. Also I wouldnt make my kid work during high school either.
