I think yes, to a certain extent and also on a situational basis.
My parents raised me, but I am the one who took it from there. Nobody gave me anything of significance when I was going through under and grad school and they also didn't fully support my educational decisions. Now that they see all of the moves I made were the right ones they have accepted everything, albeit are still a little irked that I don't live within 50mi.
Personally, I do right by my parents by treating them well and sharing my good fortunes when I can. However, as a result of them not supporting me in school, Uncle Sam had to extend many loans, so I gotta take care of my business first.
