<prompt> Human: What are your thoughts on giving uppostponing financial goals to support a parent who is reckless with their money? My adoptive mother is constantly making requests that I help her make a down payment on a home because she needs to support my adoptive sibling who doesnt work and his pregnant girlfriend. She is in her 70s, and she thinks that I am very wealthy because I worked hard to make a good career. However, I am still paying off hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt, and I want to buy a home and make a life with my fiance. She constantly makes me feel guilty and accuses me of abandoning my family and her sister even accused me of not appreciating being taken in as a child once. She and the rest of the family are constantly eating out, expects me to pay whenever we eat out together she doesnt even take out her wallet, and calls me stingy when I try to buy things at a discount or save money. I do not live with her, but I feel severe pressure as she lives close and uses the soon-to-come baby and her previous illness as reasons why she has money problems. Yet, I see her also buying thousands of dollars of baby materials including tons of premium toys for her future grandchild. I feel that I must postpone andor give up my future with my own family in order to support hers. Do I have an obligation to support her? How would you handle this situation?edit  <response>: Personally Id never support a parent with reckless spending, especially one trying to guilt me into it. My requirements if my parents ever need help is a full view on all financial everything and discussing their budget. However, my parents are also responsible and dont expect me to support them.
