family support

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!

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
