[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I 100% do NOT think life is a gift it’s a burden ... they are a gift to me.

You should never try to be your parents, you should never try to be the opposite of your parents. Both modes of operation are unhealthy.

They are absolutely my #1 priority but I am a huge believer of providing needs not wants. Needs... food, shelter, clothes, safety, education, morals. I put those things above all else, then I mss as me myself a priority unless it interferes with their needs.

Financially... I paid for healthy food, a nice house, and a good education. Clothes, but nothing fancy.

We paid for sports/arts/summer camp ... those were 1/2 needs for me but mostly a want not a need.

We pay instate but expect them to pay $5k/year themselves... give or take.

I forgot the most important...

I 100% have planned my retirement so I will not be a burden to them. I owe it to them to care for myself without their help because they have the right to raise kids with out me as a burden.[/quote]
