OP, when you can afford to pay for your own lifestyle and not accept handouts then you can afford to be upset.  Until then you should concentrate on doing everything that you can to afford your lifestyle and not accept handouts.  Stop being ungracious and greedy.  Show some gratitude.  Learn to be kind to those who are helping you when you are not helping yourself.

So, if someone gives me $100, I should let them slap me across the face? If my boss compensates me well, I should tolerate verbal or sexual harassment? No gift or other compensation excuses treating people poorly, PP. And, no, OP has not in any way demonstrated that she's ungrateful for the financial assistance.

You also neglect that, when others offer gifts, it can change the recipients behavior. Perhaps OP would have sent her children to different schools, saved differently, applied for financial aid, etc. if the grandparents had not offered to pay their tuition. We have no way of knowing how or when the gift was made and what, if any, conditions there were around it.

My advice to you, PP, is to stop project your issues onto the posters on this forum looking for advice. A lot of these posters are stressed and earnestly looking for support. Bullying responses aren't appreciated. [/quote]
