Often mommy and/or daddy buy the kid a new car. The parents can't break the habit of buying everything for their child, even though the child is now an adult. Being a perpetual provider after it is no longer appropriate can be due to an ego trip or a guilt trip by the parent. Unfortunately it can lead to the cultivation of perpetual dependency and expectation in the recipient.
