[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad I'm not in this situation but I would not have abundant empathy for my parents' problems if they refused to have any empathy for my problems when I was younger. I know of a lot of parents of adult children who think that the world worked exactly as it did when they were fresh out of high school, so they refused to give their kids any financial help (or babysitting) at all after they graduated from high school. If I had a parent like that I'd be so tempted to say "you knew you'd get old, why didn't you prepare for it financially? That was your problem and you failed and I guess you have to deal with the consequences." I wouldn't do it because I'd feel guilty but the entitlement of some of these people is astounding. [/quote] Surprise, your parent was paying for piano lessons and putting you through college instead of saving every last penny for retirement. [/quote]
