[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never stop paying to prove a point or because I disagree with their choices -- your OP reeks of judgment. If I couldn't afford it, then that's a conversation I'd have with my adult child -- but that's very different from saying, I don't approve of you dropping out of college so paying to have you come home isn't worth it to me.[/quote] This. Parents spend decades devoting financial resources to building a family. Then to shut it off after graduation based on notions of adulthood? Sounds like tough love at best, conditional love at worst. Holidays are supposed to be happy times of connection. A long, cheerful Zoom call can do the job if either or both sides are financially strained.[/quote] A family isn't built out of money. What was built was entitlement and pursestrings.[/quote] It’s not less entitled to expect cash strapped young adults with minimum amount of annual leave to spend on their parents.[/quote]
