Like I don’t necessarily think parents should be praised for doing what parents are supposed to do. But who determines what parents are *supposed* to do? That varies so much because of lack of resources.

I genuinely expected my parents to continue supporting me after 18 and well beyond that. And I struggle with feeling whether I’m privileged for expecting the people who made me to always be able to take care of me (as needed) or if that’s just what they’re supposed to do???

This is always such an interesting topic for me to think about because how I was raised, my parents would literally be okay with supporting me for the rest of my life. I have a home in them forever. I just can’t grasp parental support having a time limit.

The privilege here is the fact that my parents are ABLE to support their kids forever. I don’t think being supported in general is a privilege. It’s honestly something all children should be entitled to. Some parents just don’t have the resources to do it, and I don’t fault them.

My issue is solely with parents who *have* the means to support their kids in adulthood, and choose not to. That is evil to me.

It’s what parents are supposed to do, but because of the state of our society, all the inequality and poverty, it’s only a minority of parents who are able to and that’s make it a special privilege only a few have :(

if they can, why not? I think parents should support their children if they have the financial capacity AND it’s an incredible privilege to have that kind of financial support.

I feel parents should support their kids, in some capacity throughout their kids' lives. The support should not be so much that it makes the kids completely reliant on their parents but it should be enough that the kids know they can turn to their parents when needed.

What is considered “so much” in this case?
