I'm tickled by the idea that these spoiled kids think it's "like child abuse" that they were exposed to some of the nicer things in life but no one ever sat them down and dropped the bomb that getting those things would take [i]money [/i]and money doesn't fall out of the sky.  :shock:  :cry:   There's not a single middle class, lower middle class, or poor person who wouldn't like to "come from money."  You're not a special snowflake, you're just an idiot.

Piece of advice: next time you get the bright idea to compare being raised by parents who exposed you to [i][b]too nice of a lifestyle[/b][/i] to child abuse, consider jumping off a cliff instead.[/quote]
Perhaps it's not child abuse but it's hardly responsible parenting to never tell your children about your financial situation and what they can expect moving forward.  It's even worse to cultivate in your children the expectation that this is what their life will be in future, and that's the only thing they should prepare for.  I think it is silly to expect a 15- or 16-year old to figure out, without help, that the family really IS poor and therefore he or she needs to chart a different course in life.  That's not an age-appropriate expectation. [/quote]
