[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be the adult child in this situation but I totally get it... why would they pay for you to move their grandchildren far away? Makes no sense. [/quote] This. OP keeps saying “strings attached” but it sounds like a very straightforward, reasonable offer. If you don’t want to stay then don’t, but to be clear, they’re not “offering a downpayment on a house”. They’re offering to help you out financially to stay in the DC area. That’s it.[/quote] No way. If they just gave them the money for the downpayment with a verbal request to stay in DC? Sure, maybe. But if they become part of the ownership of the house in some way? Now you have a legal and financial entanglement as you enter the elder care years. That would be an absolute nonstarter for me and I say that as a person who has had a ton of financial gifts from my parents and I do a lot of elder care. [/quote]
