My parents and my grandmother always give money to Ivy. I just save it up for her.
Since my parents do not want me to give them "ga yung", I just try to do something nice for them each year...such as giving them money on special occasions, taking them to trip, paying for their trips in Asia, etc.
It is hard to say no to them. Just make it up to them in other way, then both is happy.
Ivyscyip,
That's why you're so rich for no need to contribute 家用!!
This's one of the reason for me to maintain my job, coz don't want Hayes papa to shoulder my 家用 & other expenses for my mum....
我地呢個 life stage, financial burden is heavy!

My father is still working (professional job). And since my parents are pretty much westernized, there is no concept of 家用. We only give 家用 to my 99.
I asked my mom if she wanted me to give her some money monthly. She said what for? if they don't spend the money that they have saved up, they ended up having to give them to me and my brother. that would be stupid...they would rather spend the money that they have saved up now. my dad also gets a pretty nice pension plan, so essentially when he retires, he will still get a monthly income.
when i get old, i think i will be the same with ivy and the little one. i will support them through college, and then no obligations between us.
