[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have and I would again depending on the situation. My parents give annually to the kids' 529s. My dad realized that he had given all his children except me something, so then offered to get me one as well. I initially resisted, but he wanted to make things more equal, so I agreed. They've also given us their miles for trips. They've offered to pay for piano lessons or discrete specific things for the kids - they've given us essentially a lump sum to go on a higher-end anniversary date than we would otherwise organize for ourselves. My parents just give it to be generous, not to control us, so we accept. If they were manipulative gifts, then we would decline - as these are just "nice to haves" not essential items for our family. I think the biggest thing they've given me though is a debt-free education and I aim to give my kids the same. [/quote]
