[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never.  They would never give it. Maybe something like $20 if I promised to pay it back.  Yes, $20-not a typo.[/quote]

Omg do we have the same mother? I borrowed $5 from my mother once to buy a snack at a festival (I didn't have any cash on me) and later on she asked me to pay her back. I'm not kidding. And while my mother is not wealthy, she's comfortably middle class and far from destitute. [/quote]

Same. My very UMC dad will stand back and let me pick up the tab every single time. And he's been doing it since I was 22 and made 40k. He won't do it in front of my mom, but definitely always when it's just us or just dh and him. I think it's sort of weird. Nothing cultural either.[/quote]

Good to know I'm not alone, PPs. I've always been really envious but also curious about generous parents - the kind who help out their kids with down payments or even just taking their kids to the occasional dinner or lunch. [/quote]
