Just weighing in with my opinion on her mad rant last week:
My parents actually offered to pay for the deposit on my house with my then fiancé, now husband. I was 18, and we found a help to buy part ownership scheme, so the deposit was minimal in comparison (£5k). This was four years ago, and I’ve just finished paying them back. I did not have to, but GOD i wanted to. The difference between me & Bav, is that I would NEVER say “my parents paid for me, boohoo for you if yours didn’t”. SOOO horrible and entitled. It’s lovely if your parents are in the position to hand you thousands of pounds, but so so many aren’t. I also, at 18, felt terrible for accepting handouts, and it became our mission to pay it back. My parents helped us when we needed it, and I intend to help them. Can’t quite believe she’d be so insensitive and just simply, gross.
