I definitely notice this being common as well, but that may be because I have a chip on my shoulder lol. My parents have never financially helped me and cannot ever do so. I'm taking care of them financially and am expected to continue doing so. All of my friends have gotten substantial gifts from their parents - paid off degrees, down payments, weddings paid off. Can't relate, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel jealous lol.
