[quote=Anonymous]You need to both stop being passive aggressive and have a direct conversation. Tell her that you (or the kids) would like support with xx, and ask if that's doable for her. When she says, "I can help with X," on the spot say, "great and thank you," and then do what's needed to make it happen. By not responding, I would interpret that as not eeding help. FWIW, my parents are in a similar situation (can afford where they are until age 150 based on their savings, but they both have pensions, SS, and RMDs coming in too). They have offered to gift us all every year, we have said yes and they do it - maximum to each child (from each parent) and to each grandchild. Our kids don't know about the money in their accounts yet, but when they come of age, they will. [/quote]
