[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The responses to OP are wild.

OP, if your kids ask for help, help them. Otherwise I would assume they've got it handled. [/quote]

My kids would never ask, even though their income is a fraction of ours.

We'd offer to pay.[/quote]

Parents are happy when kids are thoughtful, not entitled and not greedy. [/quote]

Asking for help isn’t entitled.

Dangling money over an adult child and making demands (attend this wedding or else!) is greedy and entitled.[/quote]

Eh, I'm a person who's parents offer to pay for flights (and who often takes them up on it) and I would NEVER ask them to pay for something if there was any way I could swing it. It's not how my family is wired - a kid asking for money is seen as need/desperation but parents offering (whether or not the kids could otherwise afford it) is smoothing the path for the family to be together. Offering to pay for a flight isn't a summons, though, and we can always say no.[/quote]
