No help from either parents (we never asked for assistance and wouldn't have accepted any either). We built back in 2004 (pre-boom).
I've found that when parents have a financial interest in your purchases (Wedding, House, Car, etc...), they typically need/want some control in how you spend it. Where the wedding is held, jumping from 200-400 guests, food, clothes. Which car brand, options, colour. Which community you buy in, size, colour, type, paint, flooring, contractor.
I've seen this happen to friends and family and this crap would drive us nuts.
No money from them = no control for them.
Will I help my Son? You betcha!
Will I be a pain in the ass about it, nope.
