[quote=Anonymous]I just turned 51 and my mother still sent me a check. And it's fine. My parents are still worth more than me and make more than I do even in their 80's. My parents were very wise in how they handled their retirement and they still have a positive cash flow monthly, so I just let them. Heck, when I take my family to visit my parents, half the time or more, my dad still palms me about $100 cash before we leave "just in case." I now think of it as my gift to them to accept it graciously and let them baby their baby a little while longer. Although it was pretty funny when my mother pointed out at a family gathering earlier this year that the ones she loves the most now are the four grandkids, we three "kids" are grown up so we're now her second loves. My niece just looked up a said "Of course. I've known that for years."[/quote]
