It might not be possible for every parent out there, but I firmly believe that parents should not be financially reliant on their children whatsoever, at least not while they are able to work. I am fully aware that a lot of single parents out there struggle with maintaining their household with just one salary, but I still think that making your kid work and then taking their money should be the absolute last resort.

Some people are under the impression that the rules don't apply to them, especially at hotels. One person described their experience at a 'no kids' hotel pool area they were at. Another guest had showed up with her kid in tow, and the kid was playing with Star Wars toys which he happily spread around, annoying other pool-goers.

One woman made an enemy of her kid after she decided to liquidate her college fund in favor of her other daughter's finances. Let's call the children Anna and Maxine. Anna, a 24-year-old woman, gave birth to her 4th child, despite not actually being able to afford the first 4.
