My parents' policy was that I must want the education more than they did. They were willing to pay for 49% of tuition and living expenses, no matter how far I wanted to go. They pretty much were not expecting me to rack up a 600k CAD tab for my US education. It took me 8 years, but I've since paid them the entire sum back (they fronted the entire amount). I will do the same for my 5 year old. The ex is a low income earner so I'll make sure I'm ready to step up in 13 years.
