Well then you've done something wrong because here's my code:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        For Each ctl As Control In Me.Controls
            If TypeOf ctl Is MdiClient Then
                ctl.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\Sample Pictures\Winter.jpg")
                Exit For
            End If
        Next
 
        Dim child As New Form
 
        child.Text = "Child"
        child.Size = New Size(150, 150)
        child.MdiParent = Me
        child.Show()
    End Sub

and here's my form:
