Hi everyone. Need some opinions.. My brother has a child (my nephew)
Who is in his last year of college.. he is finishing up his masters..
My brother claims him on taxes, because he supports him...My nephew works
Only a part time job for the last 5 years while in college.. My brother had bought him a new car start of college(almost paid off) ,pays his insurance, phone,clothes etc. They had an agreement that they would support him while he was in college on the condition of good grades,trying his best,no drugs etc... they each had up to their part of the deal.. my nephew excelled... well my nephew asked my brother for a part of the stimulus check? My brother was like hell no.. I have supported you, that’s moms and dads... He was gonna suprise him and give him the 1400 for graduation,but now my brother is upset.. calling him ungrateful.... I am caught in the middle because I have a son graduating w his masters and we all had the same deal... the boys are like 4 months apart..we have decided to give it to our son,because we are so proud of him.. so now everyone’s upset... need opinions, what’s done is done, we are not taking it back from our son,that would be wrong.. but I feel my brother has some valid points. So what r your opinions on the stimulus checks? When the parents get it,should they give it to their child or ......? This is the first year you can get a stimulus check for your college age child. Sorry so long... I need some neutral opinions, we are all closely intertwined.

I told my boys I would pay for college tuition and room and board only. Made them buy their own cars and pay their own bills.
My boys are now 40 so a different generation for both them and me but no way would I pay their way through life - that is the difference with this latest generation - they expect everything handed to them
How dare he tell his Dad that he "expects" stimulus money - I would throw his ungrateful butt out of the house!!
My Mom told us (me and my 2 brothers) that in order to stay friends we should never discuss money, religion or how we raise our kids....has worked out well for 70 years

While they were growing up it was my responsibility to support them...once they were out of school...they got jobs and took care of their car buying, and any other expenses they had personally...They were then and now, NOT takers..they don't expect us to support them and their families...Of course in a few very bad times, we helped them if necessary..but NOPE...they would never think of demanding anything from us...That's called LOVE
PILATES ?
HELL NO, I thought you said
PIE and LATTES !!!!

I myself think that check was the kid's I understand they are keeping him but it was meant for him. It would have been one thing if it was a tax refund but the check was meant for him. been nice if he had said you guys take it for all you done.

The stimulus check was addressed to the parents - not the adult male child -
If the adult male child does NOT file taxes, he would not get a stimulus check?

Thanks for responding... just wanted to hear other views.
My brother and I are super close, so it never affected our relationship.
Our kids are close in age,so we respect each other’s opinions, even if we don’t agree. All of the cousins have a close relationship..

that's way more support than a lot of kids get he is ungrateful in my opinion he needs to grown-up. His parents have gone above and beyond to support him I wish I could offer that support to my kids...they will have to work for any and everything they get.. :( good grades or not...my 15yr, almost 16yr (next month) has worked at McDonald's since he turned 15 he knows about the stimulus checks and hasn't asked for anything from us..in fact, has offered to pay for his own clothing, hair cuts, fast food, etc, I won't let him but he has offered. My son is more grown-up than that young man. I would not give him that check especially if I needed it and these days most everyone needs it..seems like his son would be more understanding?? hopefully, he comes around and grows up this breaks my heart to see how the younger generation treats their parents..I have children like this too. sorry if I sound harsh I don't mean to be it just burns me up that his parents are so supportive and he expects so much.
