Daas Yochid, people who don’t earn money of their should not expect to spend others’–namely their parents–for the sake of vanity. Doesn’t sitting in yeshiva teach them anything, or have they been instilled with a sense of entitlement? When you were growing up, did you expect your folks to buy you whatever your heart desires, even if they could not afford it? Saying they are just human beings is cop out and seems to suggest that following a Torah way of life has little impact on the way they conduct their lives. Otherwise, this would not be an issue. My parents were poor and I never expected anything beyond what they could afford to give and was grateful for all they gave me, and I wasn’t sitting in yeshiva all day.
