I need to show this one to my kids. One of them finally got a job, full time. They always approach mom for the money. I am glad we were able to be there for them, but even more so that they will be able to care for their own bills.
We were told at age 12 that the parents would provide shelter and food. Everything else we needed or wanted we had to work for. I started babysitting at 50 cents an hour, 75 cents after midnight. Made roughly$3k a year and had to save half for college. Then they used our savings to pay for a move before my senior year and I was without income or savings.

I think Dave may have been adopted, he doesn’t look anything like his parents.

This is where Dave should remind them that children don’t pay back, they pay forward by providing the parents with grandchildren.

The best payback for parents is when their kids have kids of their own and find out what they put their parents through!

I don’t intend to charge my family for anything. I’ll pay my own way until I die.

“Pay Back” could also mean giving lousey what they deserve.( Not mine,I did what I could, for them while they were still alive.)

The drinks for each are stereotypical, lol: cocktail for dad, white wine for mom, and beer for son.

I never knew my birthday coincided with National Pay Back Your Parents Day! Who says comic strips aren’t educational?

This figure seems low. I remember similar articles back in the ’80s and the price tag was higher
