Dear Queenie,
Some time ago I borrowed some money from my parents and now they keep bugging me to pay them back.
Queenie, what’s their problem? The money will come to me anyway when they die.—Ungrateful daughter
Dear Daughter,
As long as even one of your parents is alive the money is not yours. Be grateful that they were willing – and able – to lend it to you. They may need it, possibly badly, to live on and that may be their problem. For heaven’s sake, PAY THEM BACK PROMPTLY.
