[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never felt comfortable taking money from family. An offer has been presented to my family to pay for 70% of my children's private education. Normally I would say no but this is too good to pass up. I don't like feeling like I "owe" anyone anything. Does anyone here have stories or suggestions for my situation? Thanks [/quote]

I really can't stand people like you, OP.  My parents had more than enough money to buy me a home and to pay for private school if my kids weren't in public.  But AS ADULTS, we don't take handouts.

It's one thing to receive an inheritance but quite another to pretend you're living better than you are b/c you're being supported by a relative with more money.

I know so many people in your situation who take fabulous vacations their parents paid for their homes and supplemented tuition. They won't ever admit to it, but I know their truth.

Had my house paid for, my HUGE EXPENSIVE WEDDING paid for, European vacations paid for, my IVF treatment paid for, and children's future education paid for ...  Suck it.[/quote]

I hope you don't brag like that in real because it's incredibly obnoxious. There's nothing wrong with accepting gifts but there IS something wrong with getting something for nothing and then throwing it in people's faces. [/quote]

Oh yes! It's what I lead with!
" why hello judgemental, sanctimonious, DCUM reading asshat! I've been lavishly spoiled by Mommy and Daddy because I'm so special and better than you.
Here is my wedding album. Please fawn over my gorgeously epic ceremony and reception. I carry it with me. Just for this very reason."

Seriously though, who are you hanging with that they are giving you these sorts of details? Do you have friends that rub this kind of thing in your face? I do answer honestly if people want to know how we afford our lifestyle with our somewhat humble careers. Not to rub it in, but to assure people that we aren't wizards or something. Also, because I'm not the least bit ashamed of it. They are wonderful gifts given freely and with love. It's just the  kind of family we are. I'll do everything I can to steward the family wealth responsibly and provide the same life for my kids. [/quote]
