@MichaelClark well good ones do, but either way, the parent isn't getting a financial return. The benefit they get is that their child is better off
it's a legacy thing, not a monetary gain. Even by the definition you linked "the act of putting money or effort into something to make a profit or achieve a result"
and profit is "earn money, or benefit:"
it's a value gain, not necessarily monitary
