My husband and I put everything into our kids for 18+ years. We did what we could to give them a good start.

But aren’t they supposed to be mature, self-reliant adults at that point?

Neither of our parents helped us out much at all. (If at all!) It made us better.

Yes. We’re helping my mom out. Because she busted her butt for me for 18 years and she’s my mom.

No. My ADULT children have no right to our money and support. And, by the way, if we pay for them now, we’re going to *need* to move in with them when we retire because we will be too poor to survive without their help.

At some point, young men and women must walk on their own two feet.
