[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 754761, member: 21066"] My grandparents both came from poor families, survived the depression, etc. I think that is part of the reason they allowed certain family members to take advantage of them financially. Your dad expects Dez to get her degree and lift herself out of the situation she's in. I suspect he also thinks she's going to get a great, high paying job and take care of him when he's older. That is a common misconception of the older generation. Life used to work that way, but a college degree no longer guarantees a big salary. I can remember my dad telling me my whole life that all I needed was a college education, and everything else would fall into place. [/QUOTE]
