Yes. When both parents belong to the same local of the same union:
"Hi Mom. I just finished university. I took my tax return and paid first & last on an apartment in the city. I've registered at some agencies and applied for some restaurant work, but I have $10 left in my account. Can I borrow some money?"
"No, dear, we're on strike".
That, readers, was my introduction to the Real World (TM).
