I disagree. Parents suffer enough to get kids to age 18. What they do with their own lives after they reach that milestone should be done completely and solely on their own merits. If I ever do have kids, they'll be figuring out a way to fund their own education. It's ultimately their responsibility to take charge of their own destiny - not mine.

I understand where your coming from but to a certain extent you loose the ability to voice your opinion about the direction they take their lives. Have you ever heard of a 529 plan? I think these same parents who refused to invest in their kids education should not be surprised when in they enter the twilight years of life that their kids may send them off to the old folks home. Why should they spent the money on you for at home care when you refused to help pay for them to have a education all in the name of a few more sq feet or more vacations?
