Would you be upset if your child repaid you the cost of raising him/her and then never spoke to you again?

If all debts are repaid then everything is even

Yes

No

of course, I would. I didn't "raise" them. I poured my heart and soul into our interactions, their education, and our long conversations. I never expected them to repay anything. I'm a parent, not a bank, ffs. I was and still am for them if they need me.

No, people move on, even children.

I don’t think you understood the question. There’s a difference between moving on, and your own child treating you like they owe you something and then cutting ties entirely.

That would be pretty damn harsh for almost any parent. But I suppose if a kid did that there would be a reason - like hating his parents. Otherwise I don't see why they would do that.

If my child chose to not speak to me I would only be upset with myself because that means I failed them

[BuffTaco]

Thats not a debt to be repaid. The fact that my own child thinks they owe me money for raising them is a huge neon sign that I've been a horrible selfish shit of a parent and they would be better off never speaking to me again.

[Kingofkings1992]

The people who said no are full of shit. Everyone with a pulse would be devastated by that. Your own child means so much more than any monetary value.

Yes I would be upset. Family matters more to me than money
