Oonmis, there is a big difference between paying rent – i.e. helping out in a situation that the children chose, and buying our kids things, that the parents do not want them to have.

Imagine a parent saying i will pay your rent but only if you live in a particular place? i will pay tuition but only in a certain school. i accept that this is not quite the same, but any parent who decides things for their grandchildren is overstepping her boundaries.
