[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 94205, member: 53"] When you become an "adult" you get to make your own decisions. YOU decide if buying a bag of groceries for your kids makes you happy.... YOU decide that maybe your parents didn't help you because they thought it would make you stronger......YOU are not your parents and can decide how YOU want to handle situations.....Every parent/child relationship is different and the fun part is YOU get to decide how to handle things (at least on YOUR side of the relationship)..... So toss out ANY guilt you think your parents are trying to put on you for giving stuff to YOUR kids..... My feeling is that if your kids show appreciation and are not adding up totals between siblings and it makes you happy, an occasional gift is totally appropriate.... [/QUOTE]
