I also had an interest in electronics at a young age, but it never occurred
to me to go to my parents, I simply begged, borrowed or stole what I needed=
..

I did ask my father from time to time if he could borrow the iron from his
work place as this was the quickest way to connect leads to batteries.

So my parents rather than supporting my interest they endured it.  My
brother on the other hand was more in tuned and bought me a 50in1 which I
loved to bits.
