[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think part of the problem is that a lot of people I know who got substantial help from their parents have the (mistaken) impression that this is normal and that "everyone" has that. We don't. I have had friends say critical or unfair things about the fact that we bought a condo instead of a house ("oh did you not know condos don't appreciate as well?") or the we bought in a difficult school district ("oh we thought ahead about schools because we knew we wanted to have better options"), or the fact that we have not yet "upgraded" to a larger home ("oh I guess you guys just don't like having more space! it's so important for us"). These kinds of comments are so, so common in DC and while I know to distance myself from people like this, it doesn't make it hurt less.[/quote] Ouch. I was cringing through reading that. You have some friends who are wildly out of touch with reality. Did they grow up in elite private schools, colleges, etc? [/quote]
