I agree with you completely, Hankster. Somehow, after 30, I ended up on the other side of the fence. I must admit, though, when I was young I was quite the partier myself. The difference is that I had to earn money to pay my way through college and then find the money and time to party. My teenagers think that college is a right, not a privilege. My oldest is a junior in high school, and I have already let her know that we'll pay the tuition, but she is responsible for her daily living expenses.
