[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whose parents are this kind of weak financially?  As noted by the poster above, my parents killed it as equity and real estate investors riding their generational wave.  They would be ashamed to put a hand out.  They both know how well things broke for them and how much harder they are now.  [/quote]

Life is a panoply. Many people don't have opportunities, or don't take advantage of those available. We are comfortable financially (public schools, good government managerial type jobs now) and have one of our parents living in senior affordable housing, with no more than a few thousand in the bank.[/quote]

Your parents don’t sound like they are making claims on your resources. 
But it’s simple, there are rules, you move it to the next generation. You don’t ask for resources from those younger than you. Period. [/quote]

Ha yeah actually another parent probably (not totally sure because of the age when it happened) stole several thousands of dollars in babysitting money from a childhood bank account at the age of 17. Went to get money out and it was gone- and that parent was the only one with access but said "don't know what happened".

Some of us have to be very careful with our boundaries with parents![/quote]

My dad did this to me and my sibling when he divorced my mom. H when I asked what happened to my account, he said my money was his money (not true since it came from my earned money and bday gifts from relatives other than my parents — incl relatives who set up the accounts for us). He refused joint custody of us, didn’t pay child support as agreed and didn’t pay a red cent toward college. Yet, he claimed he paid for my college to his family — but really, he left us poor enough that it was me, scholarships and financial aid. Fortunately his sister and brother in law were the Friends of the Court and knew the true story. But yeah, some of us have crummy parents who really don’t deserve support. [/quote]
