If you're going to give, do it unconditionally.

Parents forcing their children into servitude, so they can only choose among a set of activities deemed to be “acceptable,” sounds like hell.

Really? Parents offering to subsidize some activities, but not others, are "forcing their children into servitude?" Give me a break. If your parents attaching a few conditions to the $250k trust fund they hand over to you "sounds like hell" try to imagine growing up without a $250k trust fund in the first place. (Or, far worse, without parents.)
