    My parents did the same thing. They said "dont worry when grandma sells her house we will use the money to help you with your deposit. Fastforward they sell the house and the money goes to them getting a deposit on a place and they say “dont worry” this will be passed down to you. Ok but ill be 60 years old then and it will be useless, im 30 it gives me the most benefit to have it now to start a family.

    Oh well it is what it is.

    Depends heavily on the parents. I had a few cousins who were home schooled for primary school so up until 10yr and they were 100% different to interact with and at the time I thought they were nerdy. But looking back it was because they were better socially developed and more mature than my friends and I. They were far more polite to kids (we were all polite to adults), smarter on topics we learnt in school (they didnt know about stuff like fighting and stealing from the local dairy and couldnt even ride a bike or swim) and more empathetic because they spent most of their time interacting with adults who’d correct bad behaviors while my friends and I would be socializing with kids unsupervised for most of the day.

    But we all turned out fine and had good upbringings.
