My sister is 41 years old with two children. A 9 year old son and a 15 year old step daughter. She and my brother-in-law just built a new house. Their current house is not yet sold and if they ever hope to make any money from the sale they must make upgrades & repairs. They also have a considerable amount of frivolous credit card debt. My parents have had to loan them some money. To be fair it is more like give them some money. I myself have given them $1800 in the last two months. My parents have given them $2700 that I know of in the last 6 months. Here again they are in need of financial help and my parents are giving them another $2,000. 
All of that being said, do you think my parents are perturbed by my sister and her husband's lack of financial security?  Or are they just happy to help?  I personally am annoyed with their phone calls where they talk about how tough it is with all of the bills. All the while they never actually ask for money until the third or fourth phone call. My personality does not allow me to offer the help straight out. However every time they ask I don't mind helping them. My parents from what I have seen always offer financial help straight out whenever the "it's so hard" conversations begin.
