My parents made sure I went to private school, I had a good phone and laptop, they paid for me to go to extracurricular courses, and helped me out when I ran into money problems. They would often remind me that I would have to pay their kindness back one day.

I finally have the beginnings of a proper career, but my parents are jobless and separated. My relationship with them is awkward, so I don't know whether to offer them money. They've always been proud people, so I'm not sure if they'll accept.

In the meantime, I always set aside a small budget for their Christmas and birthday presents.

How do I "pay back" my parents like they asked me to do?

If this is a silly question, feel free to say so.

Its not silly. Its an inherently awkward situation. Especially if your parents are proud.

Sounds like you want to help. Im an awkward fuck too when it comes to showing gratitude and helping so heres what id do.

First spend time with them. Be neutral. Take them for dinner (seperately obviously) and talk. Definitely pay for dinner. Then i would hope theyd start talking about problems relating to money. Rent/mortgage is hard, the last energy bill was ludicrous, anything like that.

Then offer to pay it. Theyll probably say no. Insist insist insist.

And if they still say no, then dont pay. Seriously, if it will hurt their pride youre actually doing more damage than good by helping.

Also if they dont complain at all about money, all you can do is drop "let me know if you need anything. Im here for you."

They will go home remembering your help is available. If things get hard, you will be contacted.
