My folks have helped me out for most of my life (I'm 50 now). I have always paid them back and a little bit more. I think the key is trust. I have proven that I can be trusted...time and time again. Now that my folks are on a fixed income, I try to do it on my own.
I'm uncertain why you would ask this question, but here is an observation...how much will your folks loan you that would cost you your relationship with them if you didn't pay it back? Then you'll know 'how much' they love you.
I once loaned my father a significant amount of money (when I wasn't doing too well). He didn't pay it back within the promised time frame (he has since paid me back), and I didn't care.
Money don't mean squat when it'comes to my family. There is no amount I'd lose them over...however...I may not always 'loan' out money if it becomes too excessive.

I know tons of people whose parents have helped in times when they were jobless, to putting them through school, to buying their car, to helping out with bills- but I really don’t think this teaches young adults a sense of responsibility or a taste of the real world. Instead it enables them to become reliant on something/someone else. I have been giving my parents a hundred dollars a week since I started working and I really think it gave me a sense of the true value of money and the cost of living in the world today.

No. If you want your parents sticking their nose in your business, just take money from them. All of a sudden, they will be giving advice on the cars you drive, anyplace you go, anytime you go out to eat, clothes you buy, etc. If you need more money, you should go get a part-time job and learn to live with-in your means. Don't take money from parents even if they offer because they will get in your business. And feel they have the right to do so. It will cause countless problems.

it is best that they don't. my parents practically supported both of my older sisters, even up to death. with things like credit cards, vacations, home purchases. while i did not even want their help, not that i would have gotten it, it gave me good feeling to support myself. not to say my mom made 2 loans to me, for less than $1000.00, which i paid back because she demanded it, but not with other two. i am more financially, and personally more responsible than my deadbeat sisters! if you learn to stand on your own than it would be harder for someone to hold you down.
