Yes definitely, we have not had to yet but my parents have helped out my sister with quite a large amount for a deposit on a house, my mum did ask how I felt about it and said that if we needed help then they would see what they could do for us too. I have no issues with it at all, I hope I am in a position to do the same for my children, I don't think all have to be treated equally. Different people tread different paths in life so have different needs, not all careers pay the same sort of pay scale so some may be in need more than others.
