I'd argue the assertion that babies are All Take and No Give.
They can't give much (on an absolute scale) since (especially when very young) can't do much more than eat, cry, and mess their diaper. That being said, once they've reached the point where they can start to express themselves (reaching, smiling, giggling), they can very much return the care they receive with affection.
Mr.
What happens when it's the other way around?
In other words:
All Give And No Take?

Interesting idea. Hypothetically, it would be something like an Ignored Enamored Underling or an Unrequited Love in general. You have one party pouring the whole of their heart and effort to someone else who doesn't notice, want, or care for that affection. The giver desperately wants the non-taker to notice the huge ammount of love and help they're offering/giving and pay them attention... which the non-taker pointedly (dis)misses.

I think real life examples should be allowed for relationships with non-humans. E.G you may love your pet goldfish, but he almost certainly doesn't love you back (indeed, he probably doesn't even understand the concept of love) and just takes your food without giving anything back.
