I would change the title to, "Can anyone please explain the mindset of parents who [b]enable[/b] “failure to launch”?"  Outside of most mental illnesses, parents only have themselves to blame if their children feel entitled to financial assistance after college.  Never in a million years would I have asked my parents for any money after college (which they entirely paid for).  We were raised to become independent, self-supporting adults.  My family is wealthy but not so wealthy they could give us a trust fund to support us into perpetuity.  My siblings and I have never felt our parents owe us anything as adults.  Honestly, the very idea of asking them for any form of financial assistance sounds absurd.  [/quote]

Agree 100% with this, but this is DCUM and people have little shame.

There is a reason that the DMV private schools have grandparents' day...because so many people still need mommy and daddy to support them in some fashion (though they do usually pay for their own housing and food).[/quote]
