If your child told you they did not want to go to college, would you accept it, or force them to go?

There are many paths to being a successful adult.
I will be happy if my children follow their passions and dreams, wherever that may be lead. I hope that's college, but I will be supportive if they chose another path to achieve personal success and happiness.

Force them? They are adults by that time.

How can you force them? But yes, I would not accept it. If they want to be on their own, they can be on their own. It's my job as a parent, to protect my kid, if I can.

You cant force them
Did you ever hear the expression
You can bring the horse to the water, but you cant make him drink it

If you try and force them it'll make them dig their heels in against it even more. Talk to them and find out what they actually want to do

know some that forced college on child and worse mistake ever made if they don't want college on there own its just throwing money away to make them go Know one that did not know was going to college to in car on way there Big mistake she left campus with some others without permission and in bad wreck It was a Christian college where treated everyone like in prison

Omg I'd just be happy to have children.. Why force them to go? They can always go latter if and when they ever wish to

Accept it of course. I didn't go either. At this point it's a total waste of money anyway.

Hm..I'd have a sit down with them and try to understand why?

Their decision.
