Maybe its because I’m not 19 anymore (though truthfully, I wasn’t that way at 19 either), but I would never ever ask my parents to support me. Growing up, I saw how they always struggled to make ends meet, and it would never cross my mind to have my parents pay for anything for me. B’H I’ve been working for a few years and am able to pay my own bills (though I still live w my parents), and would expect that to continue when I get married.
I think it is really selfish of people to expect their parents to support them after they’re married – unless the parents are very well off and really want to do so. What kind of message to you give your children that way? Live off your parents your whole life? Sorry if this comes out sounding strong, but I feel very strongly about it.
On the other hand, Dr Pepper -that story is beautiful!
