This is odd. I know of a family who are similarly loaded who have a kid that is struggling financially. I get it about teaching kids the value of money, responsibility and earning their own way but at the same time it does seem almost cruel in a way. This family have a holiday home in france but their youngest can’t get a mortgage despite being a good kid and having an ok job.

That's fucking weird.
I'd give my "kids" everything I own.
BTW they're all gainfully employed, making their own way in the world.

But if they needed it I'd give them my life.

Yeah, there's a difference between helping out your kids and giving them so much money that they don't have to find their own strengths.

My own Dad gave me my inheritance money about 7 years ago when i was getting married. Then he had a change of heart and asked for it back. Been renting ever since .

Not complaining as it’s his money, he can do what he wants with it but at the same time i would have put it towards a house just before things went crazy with house prices.

Then for years he’ed be giving me a hard time about how i was wasting money renting.

Oh well.

That's a fucking terror.
Either give stuff willingly with no strings attached, or don't do it at all

Not really to be honest, he is quite old and i bite my tongue on a lot of things , like that particular situation, i just smile and get on with it.

I try to earn my own way and don’t live excessively, but that money would have made a huge positive impact to my own family whereas it’s just been sitting in his own account for the last few years doing nothing.
