> I don't feel suspicious of family's investing in their kid's venture -- wow how unfair! so biased, they should have given the kid next door a fair listening to as well!

someone a while back made the case that SV is an offset economy where instead of CEOs you have VCs, and instead of Managers you have Startup CEOs.

Keeping the vague analogy in mind, how is flooding your kids with easy credit not available to other people not a form of nepotism?

It is, but what's the problem? It's like you taking your money, assuming you earned it, and buying things for _your_ friends or _your_ family. So long as your husband/wife/partner is okay, why should that be a problem?

Should I think it's unfair you spend nothing on me?

It certainly is a form of nepotism, but since when do we regulate nepotism?
