[quote=Anonymous]a first world problem, I know.

DH and I are successful and happy, the kind of "middle class" that only DCUM thinks is middle class. We have 2 kids and can take great care of them.  My dad and his wife are wealthy by most standards.  Parents paid for college but not much past that.  I've always been fine as my career has been great and now DH is the same so I've always just been grateful I got a great education and never wanted anything more.

Recently my dad started slipping me checks.  Not huge but significant. I've long suspected my step siblings were getting money from them, I never needed it although in DC with kids you can always use money. I accepted this and used it for plane tickets to visit them, then a couple of maintenance projects for our old house.

I am wondering if anyone has regretted taking money from their parents. Did you get dependent on it?  My dad seems to expect nothing and has always been a good guy so I don't really worry about manipulation. I've thanked him each time. I'm mostly concerned about getting weirdly dependent on this in case they one day stop.  [/quote]
