If your child became a professional athlete, when they became wealthy would you present them a bill for all of the expenses you incurred for practice and travel and such?

Never. It's a parent's job to provide for what their children need. Unless kids abuse that, parents should never expect to be repaid for doing their "jobs"!
-
no but I would think they were raised well enough to give me a house and help with other expenses
-
No I would not expect it, as I am the parent.....but I sure would be appreciative of any! LOL
-
Good grief, no! I would like to think that any child of mine who had good fortune would willingly share it will those tho need it most, whether those are family members or friends or just strangers who need a hand, but present them with a bill? Never gonna happen.
-
No. But I'd remind them that my truck is getting old and this ol' house ain't what it used to be. Nothing fucks a kid up more than guilt. lol
-
LOL No I would be happy they were doing good in their life. I would also scold them if I saw them doing something stupid.
-
No. But I'd hope he/she would look out for me in my old age.
-
No :)
-
NO! It is my "job" to look out for him. I made that decision when I had him. I would hope he would take good care of his good ol' mom though. I know he would! He is a little charmer!!!! Sweetheart! +5

Only if I could do the same thing if they become a wealthy doctor, lawyer, businessman, accountant, advitisor, etc., and could bill them for all the schooling -- from kindergarten through college. College ain't cheap, neither.

No.

No

No. I'd feel that my investment had already paid off in the form of an independent, successful child. I wouldn't feel that he or she owed me anything. People should have children for the intrinsic satisfaction it brings, not for the material resources they hope to extract from the kids later in life.
-
No. If I was in need of financial support, I would ask for it, but not in terms of repayment, and certainly not in the form of an itemized bill.
-
Yeah but only if I want his therapy bills for being maladjusted.
-
Absolutely not. As a parent I would have made a commitment to myself to provide my child with the best I could possibly give and more. Regardless of the success of my child, I would never want a cent back. It would be shameful if a parent asked the children for money to "pay back".

Bad attitude. No relationship. No love.
