[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 727755, member: 1550"] We helped my daughter and her fiance with a good down payment on a house. But they didn't ask us to and both are hard workers with good jobs and now they have to do the rest. I have no doubt they will. I don't see the point of buying something like a house for a grown child even if we have the means. in my opinion this just makes them entitled, lazier and they do not have feelings of accomplishment that they are doing it. This is just my opinion. There were always parents who bought grown kids big toys,. If they had the means, but I don't feel personally that this is ever a good idea or ever was. And if a kid is off the rails, they wouldnt take care of a gifted house. You dont owe a house or car or anything monetary to a grown child. You owe your money to yourself. You worked for it. They will feel better about their toys if they work hard and pay for them. And it is not good to give them anything that they can sell and use to buy drugs. And they will. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
