[quote=Anonymous]My parents gift me and my siblings and our spouses the max amount allowed by taxes (close to $30k) annually. They are also very quick to offer to pay for anything that could make our lives easier - like “you sound tired, want to hire a babysitter this weekend? We can send you money”. There aren’t strings per se though they have strong opinions about how it should / shouldn’t be spent. We have good jobs and don’t need the money - I’m convinced my mom thinks we’re destitute. She randomly sends us boxes of pasta and spaghetti sauce and snacks. Especially now that she’s vaccinated and feels that she’s safer going to the grocery store. Sending money and things is how they show their love. The money is appreciated the things (sometimes random from a thrift shop) less so. I love them and they love me and sometimes it’s easy and sometimes we frustrate each other...I think that’s how a lot of adult children are with their parents but I don’t know. [/quote]
