Most caring and competent parents try to do everything in their power to set their kids up for a good life. After all, it’s kind of an essential part of the job description. This can often mean offering support to them well into adulthood, whether that be financial or otherwise. More often than not, adult life is a struggle, especially for those first starting out with it, so why wouldn’t you want to help a loved one with the big transitions?

However, even the most generous of parents need to make sure that there is enough time, attention, and money left over for themselves. Raising children requires a lot of sacrifice, so it’s only fair to be repaid with the insurance of your own safety net. Unfortunately, not all grown-up kids are willing to understand this, which offers the perfect setup for heated parental disagreements and resentment to rise up.
