When I was at university, I suddenly became aware of families where the children were financially supported, like they may have been bought a computer or even a car. It made me question my own upbringing (I used to support my parents to an extent because they said when I got past 18, they weren't receiving child allowance for me any more and I had to make up their loss).
I try to put a positive spin on it and say that it has made me self-sufficient (it actually has), it's also made me very odd about accepting things off people (I bought myself IIN Gold for a year just so nobody else would try to treat me to it).
I think the model where parents help out their kids is better than what I grew up with. Especially in your case where the money is actually there.
IIN that I feel my parents often show a lack of support toward me?
