[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like to be independent. I never take help. I raise my kids, pay my bills.[/quote]

This.  My parents are wealthy. My in-laws are wealthy. We would never accept money from them for anything other than an emergency, which in 30 years of marriage has never happened. The idea of taking money from our families to pay for our kids’ schools or for a down payment on a home would go against everything my DH and I value.  We are adults. We take care of our kids. We pay our bills. I definitely think less of people who accept money from family. We will inherit one day.  But we won’t take money from our families until then. [/quote]

Did your parents pay for you college education?  Grad school?  Wedding?[/quote]

NP here, no, no and no.  I agree with PP, I don’t care if other people take their parents money, but I would be ashamed to not be independent and take from my parents and in-laws.  My siblings take from my parents, one is 40 and the other 33.  It’s sad.[/quote]
