for supporting you in your early years?

If they needed it or if I owed them money I actually "borrowed". I don't think I'd give it to them as payback for raising me. If it I suddenly got super rich, I'd buy my mom the cars and house, but never anything that says oh hey here is a check for $500,000 you spent on my food and clothes and toys.
I guess in a way I am paying my mom back for taking care of me.
I'm my mom's primary care giver, since my father passed away. I take care of her medicine and everything. I let her think that it's coming out of her money, but in reallity I pay for most of it out of my pocket.

Since my folks are older..I am "paying" them back now . ..
They've been ill and I've been there for them a lot lately! I owe them for all the year's of love and understanding they gave me as a child. I think they deserve some help, it's the least I could do for them! Money can't replace me being there for them right now either.
I tease my 5 year old..."BE SURE TO GET MOMMY A NICE ROOM WITH A VIEW IN THE REST HOME".

That's my song too. I lost so much money on paper it was rediculous... unfortunately, I never got to even see the cash.

ONE OF THE REASONS I AM SO DETERMINED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE IS SO I CAN GIVE BACK TO MY PARENTS. I'VE PUT THEM THROUGH HELL SO I CAN ATLEAST PAY THEM BACK SOMEHOW WHEN THEY ARE RETIRED.

IF I EVER HAD A SEVERE FALLING OUT WITH MY PARENTS, I WOULD FEEL OBLIGATED TO PAY THEM BACK FOR RAISING ME.
BUT, AS IT IS, I SEND THEM A MONTHLY CHECK. THEY ARE REALLY GETTING UP THERE NOW, AND SOCIAL SECURITY DOESN'T PAY ENOUGH.

i like to hear this kind of stuff, most people dont realize how much parents sacrifice in order to help you become the man/woman you are today.
my dad gave up his dream to buy a corvette to support me my bro and sis, both parents moved from home country to north america in which they did not know the language, or anybody, just because they though we would hold a better life here. to this day, my dad does not have any american friends, the last time he saw one of his friends was 10 years ago in japan.
i for one am going to spoil the living shit outta my folks, they did so much for me, corvette for dad, lexus for mother and then some. i just hope i get a chance to...

What a fine gentleman you are big! Not many around these days!
I do alot of business around town and I am widely known pretty much everywhere around here. When my parents want to go out to eat or want something that they need, I have arrangements with the business owners to tell them to charge it to me although they (my parents) think they are being charged. I want to do more and I will over time eventually. My best friend is a Dr. in town and my neighbor and he usually gives them samples for their medications. Good parents that gave up their dreams to raise their kids are priceless. They are really underappreciated, IMO.

No credit card needed in my one horse town. We still operate on the charge account system here. They think they are charging it to themselves but in reality the store owners are charging it to me. My parents are kind of older so they never question when they don't get a bill at the end of the month and by that time, they have usually forgotten that they even purchased something.
I think I am the only one in town with a computer!

SHIT! WHAT STATE DO YOU LIVE IN?
BUT ANYWAY, THATS REALLY COOL WHAT YOU DO FOR THE FOLKS. AS I SAID ABOVE, MINE GET A MONTHLY CHECK...BUT THAT IS SO UNCREATIVE.
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, WE'D GO OUT TO A RESTAURANT AND SOMETIMES (OCCASIONALLY) PAY FOR SOME OLD PEOPLES MEALS, OR GET THEM A BOTTLE OF WINE OR SOMETHING.

A southern state where outhouses are not an uncommon sight!
I have done that too on many occassions. It's fun when you do it anonimously and leave before they do. I always wondered what they might have said to the cashier or to their friends afterwards.
They probably laughed at me and said.......SUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My parents have done so much for me, I'm truly lucky and blessed to have such wonderful people bring me into this world...I don't think I would cut them a check because they honestly would never take it, but when I get married I would love to get a house near my parents so I can spend alot of time with them and let them become a huge part of my childrens lives, my mom always tells me thats what would make her the happiest in her old age...I always hear people bitching about their parents when they're older, and move halfway across the country so they don't have to "put up with them", I personally find that to be very sad. I'm guilty of complaining sometimes as most people my age are but when it comes down to it, I love my mommy and daddy!! lol 
Oh and I would NEVER EVER put either of my parents in a home!!

Thanks for the kind words.
I am just doing what any other person would do in my situation. You might not get along with your parents but in the end they are still your parents, and if they did right by you, you should try to do right by them.
From the looks of the replies here, there are a lot of good people on this board.

One day I hope to repay my parents…its weird because while you don’t owe your kids anything past a certain age my folks let a messy divorce strip my brother and I of a lot happiness growing up. My mother has always been my heart and while she will in all likely hood be very comfortable financially later in life I know that not ever getting remarried means she will be lonely. My dad who took forever to become a decent role model has changed our whole relationship in recent years and has helped save me with generous financial support these days..
I appreciate it all greatly and one day hope to repay all those who have helped me grow as a person
