My parents don't have any money so I don't run the risk of your disrespect, OP, but I can't imagine that those who do would care, at all, what you think of them. If you're older than 10 and you've had any amount of life experience, you would understand that there are always going to be people who live life differently than you do. When you spend your time thinking about them and being bitter, you're the one who loses.

I agree completely. All this mentality does, OP, is render you bitter and unhappy. I guarantee you no one cares one whit about your opinion on this.

Not OP here, but clearly these PPs are the entitled adults who feel their parents owe them some of the items the OP was talking about. Most likely they still have their vacations, furniture, kids' clothing and entertainment expenses still funded by their parents as well.

My parents are dead, you stupid bitch.

Some of you people are too involved in other people's business. Worry about paying your own bills and stop being jealous of other people.

True. I know a few adults who will be super super *****d when their parents either pass away or wake up.

One thing that grates my nerves is women who feel their families owe them babysitting. I know a few that are always trying to get rid of their children and act like they are two when told no. The worst are those who trash talk their parents and have their hands out at the same time .

I'm going to use my inheritance to pay for my kids' college. Is that ok?

Absolutely 100% agree.. and same goes for parents who think their grandkids are THEIR KIDS and can do what ever they want with them or belive they have a right to be in any kind of decision making .

I did not expect my parents to pay for my college, they offered to. I also got scholarships so it was not a huge financial burden.

For everything else, I'm working and putting money into a retirement plan. DH's parents have offered to give us money for certain large expenses, but we have never assumed anyone would give us money for anything.

OP, I'm wondering if your DCs attend Washington DCs private elementary/high schools?

I'm not sure I agree. If parents expect their kids to take care of them in their old age, then they had better help their kids out if they can. That's called investing now so that they can reap later. I have had to bust my ass for every single milestone and my parents have actually been a stumbling block -- getting me into debt and causing me heartache. They aren't getting shit from me when they age because they haven't earned it. So, I guess my point is that if kids shouldn't expect anything from their parents, then the parents had better not expect anything from their kids.
