a supportive family
by A Complete Mess October 6, 2020
A sweet/innocent-sounding term for frequent/ongoing financial handouts that one or more mooching relatives (such as adult-children or nephews/nieces) request/expect from one or more fiscally-solvent/responsible relatives (such as parents, grandparents, or aunts/uncles), step-relatives, or in-laws.
Disgusted step-father: Boy, when I agreed to a "family support" clause in the prenup, it never occurred to me that I'd be expected to actually FINANCIALLY SUPPORT my apathetic step-daughter and her lazy good-for-nothing live-in boyfriend! They act like they love and appreciate me, but I know they really only view me as a walking ATM!
