Question

If your kid became a big acting star and made loads of cash, would you quit your job?

Answer 1

no cause i still have bills to pay,, that money that they make is for them not for me ,  

Answer 2

learn the law - You cannot live off your kids income if they are a actor. It was passed when the OUR GANG kids grew up and all their money was gone. their parents used it.  

Answer 3

No I wouldn't quit my job. Why would I? If your child is making money and you are aswell, you become 2x rich!! But, I would take SOME BREAKS from work though. xD

Good luck!

Answer 4

Absolutely!  I wouldn't want him ending up in a photo shoot like Miley Cyrus.  I'd need to keep my eye on him.  

Answer 5

nope, i don't work.......I'm a mother so if this happened i would continue to be mom and just get to travel more  lol

Answer 6

h***s yeah..Come to papa

Answer 7

I wouldn't let my child become a big acting star to begin with.. she's a child and should enjoy her childhood while it's there.. those people who become famous so young are almost always very unhappy throughout the rest of their lives.  So, no, I wouldn't quit my job, and her only job is to be a little girl while she can.

Answer 8

I think I would have to because the child would be traveling and surrounded by all sorts of influence.  I would want to be with him/her to guide them through.  

Answer 9

If they still were a child - No I wouldn't quit my job - because my job is A fulltime mother right now, and considering my girls are only 3yrs old and 5yrs old there is no way in h**l I would let other people be in charge of them, Although in saying that, the money THEY earn is theirs, not mine. Some of it use towards the things they need but put most of it into the bank to make interest on, or invest etc so it's there for them when they are older with interest).

But being so young in the first place - a big acting career just wouldn't happen, I'm not subjecting my children to that, they should be able to enjoy their youth and have a normal life with school and friends etc, not worrying about acting and rehearsals and premiers and things like that.

Answer 10

no.. your kid is making money not you .. lol

he's working for his/her money .. why wouldn't you ..

my opinion..

good luck  

Answer 11

the only reason I would was if I had to take him places and be on set. Otherwise no as the money is his and would be put in the bank for when he was older

Answer 12

No, I would not.  The money is for him or her and should be put away for his/her future.  How many child stars keep their fame throughout adulthood?  For every Ron Howard there are 50 Gary Colemans.  I don't want my kid messed up psychologically or working as a security guard because I used what he or she earned to take care of MY responsibilities.

Answer 13

No of course not.. but then I'd never let my kid become this big acting star..

I opted for mediocrity  for my children... it's worth it to be "normal"

they can reach greatness during their own time and no doubt they will!!

Answer 14

No.

I love my job and, besides, the money isn't for ME. They're the ones with the acting talent, and they'll need that money for themselves and their family - what right have I to take it? I'm happy with what me and my husband are earning and I'd just want to congratulate my kid, not use them to my advantage.

I think. :p In a real situation, I dunno. If I were to quit, it would be to fully support them, not for the cash, although I'd make sure my husband still worked.

Answer 15

No.

I believe in working for my money.

Answer 16

You'd probably already have quit in order to get them to that point.  You have to take them to auditions and be on set with them when they are young anyway.  But no, I would not take advantage of their money.  My son is a model, and any money he earns goes directly to his account.  My daughter will be the same way.  If we get to the point of flying out to LA I would feel that it is ok to use the proceeds to cover expenses only.

Answer 17

No, cause that my kids money. I wouldnt want to take his or her money in any kind of way!

Answer 18

You probably wouldn't stop working like you may think.

You would probably be very busy scheduling appointments,managing his or her business and looking out for his/her best interest.

Traveling, scheduling,signing contracts etc.

Although you may think you can kick back and relax, it most likely wouldn't be the case.

Not unless you simply just stayed out of their business and hoping to have him/her support you. That would be pretty lame.

Last thing in your defense. Elvis Presley, did exactly what you are asking. He loved his parents and he wanted them to have the best of life he could offer so, I guess I would wait and hope mine felt the same way.
