Should parents pay for college tuition?

Brittainey (UK)

If you decide to have a child, it is your responsibility to take care of that child. They didn't ASK to be brought into the world. So the idea that a parent owes their child nothing isn't exactly true (you owe them food, shelter, love, etc). That being said, I think that if your child decides to do something (join a sports team, get a car, go to college) that is something that the parent DOES NOT owe the child. But then comes the question of whether or not you owe your kid a good life, which is virtually impossible these days without a college education. Maybe a parent just owes the child the knowledge and resources to make good decisions about paying for college or offering an alternative option?
