[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound very young, PP. When you get older, and your kids are grown, you'll see that you're always carefully walking a thin line, where you have natural curiosity and care about your grown-ass kids, while trying not to pry or make them think you're questioning or criticizing them. Sometimes you will ask them questions that they feel are none of your business. That's why adults need to know how to gracefully brush off all questions from their parents that they don't want to answer, and not get all bent out of shape over it. [/quote]

And that's what OP is asking for.

Anyway, the offering to pay for things makes me suspect that they are bailing out/subsidizing a sibling and are wanting to even things up.  Similar dynamic with my inlaws and I've seen it in other families too.  I've also seen the miserably toxic sort--beg to set up a 529 or pay for a child's tuition, then grumble to all the relatives about how they are being taken advantage of.  Doesn't sound like the latter here, thankfully.  [/quote]
