[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good lord what a self absorbed way to think.

Want to “see your grandkids” as a life goal? Set your kids up so that the well documented barriers to having children young don’t impact them— buy them a house, make sure they don’t have college debt, pay for a nanny. That will maximize (but not guarantee) your chances. [/quote]

You are the self absorbed person here.

You are hell bent about not making your point so you disregard others’ concerns. [/quote]

PP isn’t “hell bent,” she calmly stated her pov which makes a lot of sense. It may be human nature to have kids and want to see the next generation, but it’s a very self absorbed and selfish desire. Sometimes you need to put aside your base desires for the good of your kids and your relationship with them, and not pester them to give you grandkids and help them out financially with a house DP, student debt, etc.

And to to the other PP bragging about her kid buying her own house. If you can afford to help out your kid financially why wouldn’t you? I know many wealthy people who are professionally successful and had significant help with down payments, college contributions, etc from their parents. They’re already doing well but the extra help pushed them to a higher level of financial success.[/quote]

Op (who is not I) is just bringing up a point. S/he is not saying anything else.

Stop projecting![/quote]
