We'd keep them on our phone plan until they have a permanent SO and can get their own family plan. No need to give more money to the phone company.
I'm sure we'd help with a few apartment essentials as an apartment warming gift, and maybe help get groceries when we visit.
If they joined us on vacation, we'd likely treat. If they vacation on their own, then they're on their own.
We'd probably also treat for any joint meals out or other joint activities,e.g., a concert, game, or theatre tickets.
We'd be available to help out in a medical or other major financial emergency, e.g., a car accident or major health issue.
We wouldn't subsidize rent or other living expenses.
All of the above is very reasonable. That’s healthy parenting without indulging them.
