Sorry that'd be the case in your family.  Wasn't in mine.[/quote]

Oh, but it one sense it is. In the "no strings attached" way maybe not but in the "still clinging to your momma's apron strings" way... definitely. [/quote]
Her help has allowed me and my husband to pursue careers we love, rather than wear golden handcuffs, and to have a wonderful and safe home for our children.  We are blessed and appreciate it!  If making nasty comments out of jealousy or lack of understanding of how a person can be selfless makes you feel better about your own situation, have at it!  Doesn't affect me at all.[/quote]

My in-laws lent/gave us money to buy our first house.  We did the same for our kids.  Also made sure kids weren't left with student loans.  If the family has the money, it's really very sensible - it will likely save on estate tax ultimately.  As for strings, I don't see that was a problem in either case, though I guess it's always a possibility.[/quote]
