[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say, I'm really envious of all of you who have generous parents. My mother (who is very comfortably middle class-she's retired and owns her house out right, takes nice vacations a few times per year with my stepfather, etc) is pathologically stingy. My husband and I didn't even get a gift when we bought our first house (not even $50). I borrowed $3 from her once to buy some bottled water and a snack-I forgot to pay her back and she made a point of asking for the money. I see her about once every few months and when we go out for an inexpensive meal she never offers to treat. Honestly, it doesn't make me feel very inclined to be generous with her. My husband and I are also middle class-we can afford to pay our own way and I don't expect money from her but it would be nice for her to treat for Chipotle every now and then. [/quote]

Don’t be envious. You don’t have to put up with the strings and can live your life without meddling. That’s a great gift.[/quote]
