I know of several that work, but their kids still sent money home.


well more money is always better. but i thought the argument was more need based financial assistance. parents should not be relying on their children to support themselves, especially if they have the means to do it themselves, which the vast majority of people do, they just choose not to or conjure up sob story excuses.

In Tunsil's case it is, but not everyone is just sitting around waiting to mooch off their children. It's sad because some will try to paint with a broad brush to make it look like every parent is like Tunsil's mom, but what about Richard Sherman's dad? What about Lester Cotton's mom? What about Reggie Ragland's parents? What about ODB's parents? What about all the parents that work and you never hear a peep from? Their children still send them money back home, trust me.
