Sure, there is nothing wrong with that at all. All parents want to make sure their kids live better lives than they did, right? My parents also worked hard and paid for all that, my mom still helps my brother with things sometimes, helps pay for stuff when needed, but the OP makes it sound like those parents did something wrong by selling their house, and that actually they were supposed to keep it, against their will, so their kid could get the money? I think that’s complete bullshit. It’s their house, they get to do with it what they want. OP should be happy that their parents have such a house to sell in the first place, because there are a lot of people who don’t even have that.
I think there’s something morally wrong with choosing not to contribute to your family or community past your own life but that is assuming your descendants are worth a damn. “A society grows great when old men plants trees” and all that.
Nuh uh!!! The kids i raised better be ready to lift themselves up by their bootstraps. If they can’t–misery and poverty for the rest of their lives! Mwa ha ha ha!
Seriously though–it really bothers me when i see people saying stuff like “i raised you, i don’t owe you shit”… If you bring someone into this world–you better be ready to take care of em. Even if it means for their entire life! You don’t know what they’ll be like or what needs they may have, so be ready for anything. Hopefully they’ll be able to make a living for themselves but it’s getting harder and harder in this day and age.
Sure, but there’s a very large area between not contributing at all and not being allowed to sell your own home. Parents can contribute in plenty of ways without being forced to keep living in a house because their kids care more about an inheritance than their parent’s wishes/well-being.
