This is a saying in Spain. . . . but I want more of an English/American feeling. Is there a similar saying used?

Similar intent is implied in : "If you lay down with dogs, don't be surprised to wake up with fleas."

Am not sure but maybe similar: A snake would even bite the hands that feed it.

i don't know an English/American version of this, but the meaning as I knew it in Spanish is, that your raise kids and they will attackyou

I don't know of any, but in case you didn't know, it means that if you raise a person who is unruly or develop anything without proper work and planning it will rise up and bite you.

The closest I can think of is "No good deed goes unpunished."

How about:
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you?"
"If you play with fire, you'll get burned."
"Don't cast your pearls before swine."
