[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not in our culture but I would definitely use proximity to parents to ask for money!

No, this is just lame and gross.

You have kids. Think about all the "unrewarded" work you do raising them. All the poop, pee, and vomit you clean up, the meals you prepare, the clothes you wash, the day care, schooling, summer camps, and sports you plan and pay for, etc. etc. etc. How much time and effort you spend taking care of them. [i]Your parents did all that for you[/i]. For you to think "I should be paid for taking care of them on the back end" is self-absorbed to say the least.[/quote]

An adult chooses to have kids.   The kids do not choose to come into this world, and therefore do not owe their parents anything "on the back end."[/quote]

This. I actively chose to have children. Parenting truly needs to be selfless. I changed diapers and cleaned up vomit because I chose this little life and let me tell you...despite tantrums and poop and peeing in my face and all of it, that little toothless smile was so rewarding. So much of it is rewarding.

My childhood was I guess stable in that I had a roof over my head and never worried about food, clothing, etc. I will save all the other parts for therapy, but in many ways I wish my parents had not had me. I am happy to be alive and love the family I created, but despite all the backfips I did I rarely pleased them and the entitlement my mother has is out of control. Her own mother should have never had children and really didn't like raising children. My mother could only stand me when i was a people-pleaser with no self esteem and no sense of selfworth.[/quote]
