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]

Cool! I have those things and I got them on my own. I'm blessed and appreciate it as well! [/quote]

I don't know what 'things you got on your own' but I get it, you're trying to be snarky and prove your superiority.  It was a smart financial decision for her and made life easier for us.  I guess if we made her live in the basement since we took all her money or quit our jobs and played croquet all day, I could sort of see the resentment, but we both work hard.  And got family help, as did many people on this thread - because it was offered to us.  Our kids' college will be paid for as well.  As long as they appreciate that and work to the best of their ability, you imply they should feel guilty.  I disagree.[/quote]
