My sister and I shake our heads at how we’ve treated our kids, all the help we’ve given them. We were both out of the house shortly after HS. She went to work, and I went to college (on full scholarship). I paid for my dorm with my summer earnings.

They’ve all turned out ok, so no complaints.

Well, maybe a couple...lol.

It’s definitely a different generation. I sometimes wonder how my parents managed to raise me to be the extraordinary person I am, when my kids are such goofballs!

None of ours has asked for help with buying a house, but if one did, it could be considered. I put my 22-year-old son’s college tuition on a credit card last year, with a handshake agreement that he’ll pay us back someday. Starting this year, his employer is paying.
