父母派说:Your whining self-entitled spoiled brats, don’t be lazy, you’re a legal adult at 18, pay your own way.
子女派说:Are your baby boomers(这里baby boomer只是一个提法, 就是老家伙的意思, 不是一定指baby boomer) completely delusional?You think it’s as easy as it was years ago? The cost of tuition has skyrocketed!
双方都狠狠地骂了对方, 觉得对方又蠢又不争气, 都叫对方闭嘴cut your crap, 都说对方 Selfish. “Your selfish kids just expect to be handed everything in life and don’t want to earn anything or sacrifice for anything.” “Your selfish parents make excuses NOT to pay your child’s tuition and like to watch they suffering.”
双方都呼吁对方负起责任来. “Your kids shall grow up and be responsible for what you want in life.” “Parents’ responsibility shall INCLUDE providing their kids a college education.”
有些父母有上千万,几百万的资产, 或许他们可以给孩子至少付一部分大学学费。 因为他们的子女抱怨说他们一点都没付, 或者只付了一两万元。 有些子女确实是self-entitled spoiled brats。特别在有些人提到父母养育了你们十八年有恩什么的时候,他们说得最多的话就是“ I didn’t ask to be born! Parents decide to have children. You owe me!” 你生我就欠我的。 还有其它一些话类似你付不起学费, 你不要付学费, 那你生什么孩子?! 你只负担得起一个, 那就不要多生!!!我就是看到这里,感到震惊, 开始吃鸭蛋蛋定的。 说好的美国孩子都很独立呢? 为什么抢我们中文论坛的台词说?
