I don't think you should feel bad at all. That's what your parents are for. You are there for each other when the other needs help. My parents have been helping us huge this last year and a half. I don't even have to ask some of the time they just send us money. They know we appreciate their help and we plan on making things up to them when we are stable again. I know I would do the same for my daughter if she was ever in need.

Sometimes we need to.. like it or not. If your parents are in a position where they can assist then go ahead and ask.
With that said, you are an adult and you need to have a plan to get back on your feet and repay the debt to your parents. Before you even ask them, you need to sit down with your husband and make a budget and a plan. Have a game plan laid out as to how you're going to repay your parents as well as what you're going to do in an attempt to better your situation. You'll find that they'll be more receptive to helping you if they know what your intentions are and that you're not looking for a just a hand out.

Yes and make sure you make up a plan to make payments to them to get their money back. Also if they so no you need to be polite about it.
I know these are hard times but take a look at your spending and see where you are having problems and fix it. If you spending money on extra stuff than you should cut it out.
As long as you don't make it a habit to ask your parents for money I don't see the problem of asking them once as long as you pay them back.

I suppose it depends on your relationship with your parents. How old are you? How long have you been on your own? Do you make a habit of this? What is the money for? Can you cut back somewhere else in order to avoid this? Will you be able to pay them back? How will your spouse feel? I wouldn't dare ask my parents for money. I would be too embarrassed.

Of course it's ok i mean your parents wants you to ask them for something anything, that way they will know that they are needed and some way. And besides they understand how it is being married and that there's going to be bad times, because they were in your shoes before hand.

If your parents are financially able, then it is ok to ask them if they can help you out. But be sure you repay them as soon as possible. You may need help again you know.

Yes if you are close with your parents. They might just give you financial advice though and not money.

if you have exhausted all other ways to make ends meet....even taking on a second job and you are really trying...cutting out all extras even the cable if you have to then yes its ok to ask as long as its not a habit and you do pay them back.
my step daughter and her hubby likes to ask her dad for money he doesnt want to stay employed and she doesnt want to work. he helped them out a couple times but they dont even try to help themselves so he isnt helping them any more.

That should be your very LAST choice. You and your mate need to do a better job with your finances. Please dont depend on your parents. It puts you all in an uncomfortable situation.
