Riley is concerned about her financially struggling parents buying gifts for her and her new baby, which she feels contributes to their debt and causes guilt. John and Rachel explain that Riley's feeling isn't guilt but potentially anger or frustration, and she shouldn't 'own' her parents' financial decisions. They advise open communication, asking 'How can I love you today?' and offering help with budgeting or specific needs like groceries, rather than just giving money that might be misused.
