Sigh... Just opened the mail. I got the the bill for my sons HBCU for the fall of 05 and the Spring of 06... I just ain't feelin it :-( Partna's grades were decent. He still been a handful this Summer but it just don't feel like it felt this time last year when he was going to be a Freshman. I am lookin at upwards of 25K for the tuition and fees...We put him in a spankin brand new apartment so that's another 6K. We gotta do about 4 or 5 round trip air fares...August, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break and Homecoming for me and the hubby... His spending money runs about 400 hundred a month which is another 4K...He don't got no new clothes or shoes so Im mo have to get him sumthin...Books and supplies is gonna be about 600 hundred cause he in the B school...We gotta ship all his stuff back which is another 300 hundred bucks...Partna wants us to ship his car as he is gonna get the B-mer in August...I gotta help him set up his apartment...This is the short list when I think of some other expenses for him... So, we talkin about...40K... Son will bring aproximately 3K to the table after his Summer work is done. We got it but, I just ain't motivated to break him off like this but, I ain't gonna fake on him...HELP.... Give me some inspiration, motivation...fo real! NO HATIN...thanks!

"I give my son $400 allowance" "He is driving a beamer" "I pay out my pocket over $25,000 a year" "He has over 70 pairs of Jordan shoes" "He has boo-koo amount of Polo Shirts" Naw, u right, that ain't bragging :???:
you forgot... "I'm also gettin him is own apartment" and how is someone with one post that doesn't know a thing gonna even post on the issue?
lol.....i guess i need a post count over 1000 to be able to read. :???: . It Like I said I dont think that was her intent was to brag. Ok...even if it was, why should you even care? I mean someone over the internet is bragging, so what read her post or not and move on. If your so worried about bragging than you shouldn't listen to most rap thats out today.
never said that... as usual people always want to twist things up to start controversy... i'm sayin that unless you just randomly browse the boards before signing up, you really have ZERO idea of house her other posts have been... and if you even read any other of my posts in this thread alone... i said i didn't really say anything until she said something to me... and what the hell does rap have to do with this thread? you are making absolutely NO sense whatsoever.... i only said something b/c i was tired of seeing the same thing over and over again... like 85% of the people on here... next time read the whole thread thoroughly... i never said you had to post, but there's more to the story than what you just see... and please don't try to twist my words again...

Lol....im not trying to twist your words you said "how is someone with one post that doesn't know a thing gonna even post on the issue?" all it would take is someone to read the thread and gather their opinion on whether she was bragging or not. Also if you would have read my post I said i've been lurking here for a little bit . So I do know something about the issue on her post being a little repetitive.

Why should we care? Because we are annoyed by what we consider bragging and let our feelings be known. No harm in that right? Right!

Cosigns with buttascotch and Thorougly confused, i've been lurking for a while now and I can see where college mom's posts could get off as annoying. But it seems that some of yall are gettin up in her ****, and are trying to run her off the board. I personally dont see where she is bragging, maybe its because I dont give a f**k about the whole thing . But givin the situation, like someone said it wasnt very tactful for her to come on a messageboard with college students and give us a life story about her seemed to be spoiled son and her money issues.
Some of us are working hard and still trying to figure out how to pay for college this year. Some of us are broke college students living on oodles of noodles and doritos. Do you really think we want to hear about her spoiled ungrateful brat and her fantastics life? Obviously not. If she is too dense to pick that up she should not be posting, period. Thats the point for me. Not that I dont like her cause she seems ok otherwise.
