[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm close to my parents and grateful for that but they really don't understand my money concerns at all. I just finished writing them the last $4,000 check for a $20,000 downpayment loan they gave me (happy to do it and grateful they extended a hand), on top of[b] feteing them[/b] at my housewarming (stocked the fridge with their favorites, took them out to restaurants w/ reservations, got concert tickets).

I can't tell you how supportive they've been, but they can't seem to get that my money isn't endless. They're demanding I fly to a[b] generational baby shower[/b] next month and to be frank - I'm exhausted. [/quote]

#1 $4000 check:  you were repaying money you owed them -- [u]required[/u]

#2 "feteing them" when they visited:  your responsibility as host/ess include feeding and entertaining within your means and to a certain comfort level --[u] required[/u]

#3 baby shower:  I don't understand the reference to "generational" but a baby shower usually is a pretty important event for most families -- [u]optional[/u][/quote]
