Nothing wrong with that, if you have to pay someone for yardwork or for delivering a pizza and find you're short of cash. I've done it.

I assume the parents pay it back a.s.a.p. - I can't imagine that they wouldn't, and borrowing's not stealing. I went for years with my kids having more ready cash than me, because I was paying for everything that supported them.

Sounds like a non-story to me.
