[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The name calling posters embarrasses themselves. Crass jealousy is not a good look. Please stop.
Every parent regardless of their income status just wants their children to be happy and safe. Why wouldn’t parents who can well afford to help their adult children (and grandchildren) live in a better neighborhood, not do so? If the children are good hardworking productive people and the parents have more money than they will ever need, why not help them out now when they can use the extra money verses later? As another poster said, you can’t take it with you.
It’s a “first world problem” of balance between helping and not spoiling and taking away from their sense of purpose and true ownership.

Those that don't understand what you posted are quite simply [b]jealous of what others have and it's not a good look.[/b]  We all want to do the best for our kids with what we have.  And yes, "you can't take it with you" so for most charity starts at home with the family[/quote]

NP - If parents can afford to help, have at it.  I'd love to be able to do that for our kids, but not sure we'll be able to, since we've had no help.

But please, FFS, understand what an advantage it is to have family give you hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a home.  Appreciate that, be grateful, and then maybe have some humility about the situation.  Of course people are envious of such a gift - who wouldn't be?  I am.  I simultaneously wish we'd had more help, am proud of what we've accomplished, and don't hold others' good fortune against them.  As long as no one's minimizing or denying the help they received, it's cool.[/quote]
