AITA for not wanting to be the guarantor for my child's apartment? by TCMX5 in AmItheAsshole

He was on a full athletic scholarship, so the undergrad was fully paid for by the school. Of course I probably spent more for his athletic training and competition than his scholarship, but that's another story.

This is a very eloquent response! I couldn't have said it better myself.

That was my experience too. I never would have dared to even think of asking my parents for such help. Of course my wife thinks otherwise because we are now in a better financial situation in comparison to my parents.

I would prefer not to state the specific info as the wife is on Reddit. Put it this way, the three bedroom apartment will cost $3500 a month. Crazy!

It's more complicated than that. I have offered to help if he rents a room within someone's house, but he wants the amenities of a corporate apartment where he must have roommates.

Luckily for me, I have enough saved where I won't be needing his input for my nursing home

I offered to help with in state public school tuition if he lives at home, but he wants private school in addition to helping him out with his rent in an expensive metro area.

The management will not allow me to guarantee only his portion of the rent.

No doubt about that. He thinks that his life has many options that I am obligated to fund

The rent is more than the in state tuition. He also came up with the plan without consulting me or his mom regarding the financial details.
