[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regardless of the parents income, these 20 somethings need to stop asking for hand outs. They need to get their own jobs and provide for themselves. What financial assistance are they asking for??! [/quote]

One wants to quit his job and move in with dad and stepmom so he can more pursue acting. He also wants to go back to school for an MFA but he thinks loans are a bad idea and doesn't want to be in debt. The daughter wants cash so she can move out of her mother's house and get a nicer car than the old one dad gave her 5 years ago.[/quote]

No way.  I would not let an adult move in to pursue acting.  To go back to school that he is paying for, I'd consider it but I'd have to get along well with him and have the space.  To move out of mom's house and drive a new car, humm... no.  Stepmom is not obligated in any way.  We had this situation and my husband said no way.  We continued to provide medical care as long as we could but was it.

If kids needed something as there was a true emergency, especially medical, then yes, we'd step in but not to support their lifestyle choices.[/quote]
