[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents paid for our wedding, gave us money for 2 down payments and help pay some of my kids' private school tuition every year. They also have set up significant 529 for my kids. I would not approach them for large purchases but [b]mostly because we can afford our own expense[/b]s. They would gladly help us more but I would feel awkward asking. My ILs have not given us any help despite having the means. [/quote] Lmao, um obviously not. :roll: [/quote] Right? LOL OP, I wouldn't ask because I know they don't have the money. Neither do my ILs. My mom proactively gave me and DH $3K towards our wedding expenses; we hadn't asked and thanked her profusely. We won't inherit anything from either side. So, instead, we live solely within the means of what we earn, because that's all we have. The vast majority of my friends have had help with down payments, large weddings, etc., and don't hide it. [/quote]
