The other half of them are like my parents who had us grow up poor, then the second the kids are out the door are taking early withdrawals from what little retirement they had to blow on fancy house remodels and all sorts of things totally unnecessary, then getting divorced, getting to retirement and having zero left and leaning their kids to come save them with stories of how you're supposed to do that for family. That part would sting a lot less without all the continued ignorance of any personal responsibility. Instead, the literal free house one of mine lives in that I own and I bought, and instead of gratitude I'm often made to feel like I need to be squeezed for some comfort item that free house needs. It's bonkers.
This screams Asian parents. I know multiple guys (mostly military) including a family member who married Asian and wound up being the wageslave of the entire family in the US and overseas.
