Without a doubt, yes. Anything which will make life easier and less stressful.

I'm sure, if in years to come, you're in the same situation, you would do the same for your children.

I accept money from my family if they are offering, when they know I'm in a tight spot. My grandmother gave us the majority of the money for us to buy our car (not a huge amount but it meant we could buy a bigger car when ours died and baby #3 arrived). She also brought us a clothes dryer when we needed one. My mum has paid for small things for the kids too, not things they need, but things I wanted to get them, and she often buys them. It all helps. And it makes the people helping feel good too. I feel good when I help someone, and I am in a position to help.
