Parents should be teaching their kids to have more respect for themselves and to know they are worth more than being someones ornament or *****.

I would feel sad and disappointed. I'm trying to raise my daughter to be capable and independent and hooking up with a Sugar Daddy is the opposite of that.

I wouldn't fight about it or disown her, and I'd encourage her to have a financial agreement in place to protect her if he dumped her.

I would be proud of them for being "enterprising", however I would want them to understand that the "gravy train" they are on will end with a sureness as soon as they get older and the "droops and sags" set in on their body - That this will not last forever and they should be working on some other way to make a living for when they are older.

It sounds like you'd be fine as long as you were certain your child was truly and utterly head over heels in love and didn't have ulterior motive.
Yes. That makes them a couple, not a sugar daddy/baby relationship.

Whatever arrangements a couple makes is their business. However we aren't talking about romantic couples, so I'm not sure what all that's got to do with this topic.

Unbelievable.

I'm sorry but I hope you aren't a father.

Um, no, not anymore.

Jeez what year is this? I'm completely astounded by some of the responses in this thread.

I have respect for people [grown-up kids] who can find ways to survive in a tough world.

And I have little or no respect for those who can't find food and shelter for themselves when the going gets tough - are at a total loss if they can't find a job or lose their job.

It is not an ideal "fantasy TV world" out there! Rather it is a harsh cruel world.

If your child is a boy, and the sugar momma is hot, well, "Howdy M'aam."

You shouldnt be, its a tough economic environment, and many recognize that their children could end up growing up in abject poverty. There are worse things in life then being a trophy wife/husband.

Since when are we talking about a "trophy wife/husband".

We are talking about people that troll sugar dady websites looking to hook themselves out for gifts and money. In the guise of calling it "dating". It's actually escorting and prostitiution. And they need to call it "dating" or they'll get themselves arrested for solicitation. Please don't act like it's to save them from the streets. It's generally because they want nice things without having to work for them, in a way that emloys little effort on their part.

Believe it or not, there are worse things in life than abject poverty. You can get yourself out of that with your pride intact.

I have more respect for straight up streetwalkers, who are literally trying to survive and may have a rabid addiction to support. That I can understand.

But a Ferrari isn't worth it.
