As for people mooching off of their parents until their 40s, I say, "Cut the apron strings!"
As for grandparents helping out occasionally, that's no biggie. My grandma saved almost every paycheck she ever earned for her retirement/grandchildren. My sister and I are her only biological grandkids, so she helped our parents out with buying our PACT (Prepaid Affordable College Tuition) plans and bought our cars. Occasionally she'll give help with stuff like my book money or my sister's cheer uniforms and give us money for birthdays/Christmas, but my parents don't ask her for money to pay THEIR cell phone bills and what not (like some people I know).
