They are of legal age, and decided to join a sugar dating site and date a person a couple decades older, and recieve cash allowances, extravagant presents, and go on vacations.

Would you be ok with this?

Meh, whatever floats their boat. Personally I'd find it weird but its their choice.

I'd be very disappointed. However, I certainly wouldn't disown her or anything.

No I wouldn't be "ok" with this.

I would be extremely disappointed in myself if this was how my daughter (or son if I had one) decided this was what they were going to do to support themselves.

I would hope we equip her way better than that for dealing with the world and having some self respect, self motivation, and meaning in living life.

w/ this economy, you'd think parents would want their kids to get with the richest people they can find

I would be terribly disappointed in myself if mine ended up being this way. But its her choice in the end.

No parents want their kids to BE the richest they can find, or not. Whichever makes them happy.

But very few parents (at least those who respect their children) would be happy with them using other people to survive.

What a miserable way to live, that will likely end with an unhappy recipient full of self loathing and zero self esteem.

Do I want that for my child? Hell no, of course not.

Maybe some would... but definitely not by whoring themselves out.

No, most parents don't want their children to be prostitutes. What the heck planet are you from...or are you just trolling?

This may be legal - but it's still prostitution...and I would really wonder where I went so wrong that she'd think this is a good idea or that this was her best option.
