[quote=Anonymous]In short, no. Our 26yo son is completely self-sufficient and working in the field in which he got his degree. Our 23yo daughter is self-sufficient except that we pay for her cell phone and the occasional plane ticket to see us for family events. She is working but intends to go to grad school at some point. We may help her here and there with gifts if she is back in school in the future, but have not told her that. OP, you are doing your adult kids a huge disservice. Tell them they need to be 100% self-sufficient by X date, and then stick to that. If they have to work at Starbucks while job-hunting, so be it. Bear in mind as well that you are sending them the message that you don't believe they are capable of taking care of themselves independently. Is that what you want to communicate to them?[/quote]
