[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t care. I’m only annoyed when those people are clueless about how fortunate they are and get snotty about things.[/quote]

+1 normally; however, I do get annoyed when people who do get help from their parents act as if they have tons of money, not that they have to disclose it, but I work with a woman in her 40's, married who recently purchased a house in a pricey area. She will not shut up about the neighborhood and how wonderful it is and better it is than other areas (aka where we live). 
Only a handful of us know that her parents gave her a chunk of money for it.  I also have an adult neighbor who lives with his parents in his childhood bedroom. Quit his job 10 years ago to avoid child and spousal support (still had to pay child support because Maryland does not play around). His parents pay it and all his bills. He still goes on trips and parties. His mom pops by for once in awhile to vent. He has not worked in a decade, but complains about illegals, their entitlement, gossips about who just purchased a new car or made home improvements and complains how expensive everything is. His siblings hate him.[/quote]

We have friends who could not live where they do without the significant help they receive from one set of parents, and they are beyond snobby about it.  The husband openly criticizes the schools where we live, and it's laughable, because he couldn't afford to even live there without the money they've received from his parents-in-law.  Get a clue, already.  We bought what we could afford, without the gift of a large downpayment.  That's true of most people.  [/quote]
