But OP already admitted later in the thread that she HASN'T earned everything she has.

Basically, it boils down to her being jealous that others received more help from mommy and daddy than she did.[/quote]

OP here and I'm not sure why I'm responding. 
The money we received from my husband's parents (100K) was between him and them.  It caused a major rift in our marriage.  I was categorically opposed to it.   It is still an issue between us 8 years later.  Someone said, "you might have been opposed to it, but you took it.".  No, I did not, he did.  
  
We have since immediately turned down offers of help (from both our parents) for private school tuition, vacations, and college funds for our children.

Long term things like private school tuition, okay. But what is the virtue in denying your children generous gifts like college and vacations from their grandparents?  This just seems ridiculous to me, too extreme. You seem like you have a bit of a screw loose...[/quote]

I agree. OP, it does seem like you have some sort of problem. I can understand the reasoning behind vacations and even private school tuition, but saying no to the college fund...[/quote]
