[quote=Anonymous]I care for practical reasons. One of my SILs is very indulgent of her adult children. They take from her all the time but does not give anything back, even in times of need. There have been times when SIL had cash flow problems and we had to help them out (neither SIL nor her adult children have any savings). If they have an emergency, we know it's going to be on us to bail them out. I see it as poor financial parenting. It's akin to giving kids candy whenever they want, and they suffer cavities as a natural consequences. Love your kids and provide help here and there, sure. But to give without restraint is enabling them to be leeches and ultimately, it affects other family members too. [/quote]
