They will indeed. But then I will hit them up come funding time so I can get money for my personal choices too, especially for the fundamental one that they already have in raising a child in the way that they see fit. Children's futures rest in the way their parents raise them and their own efforts later on already.
I just get upset when I hear people complain about their "choice" or lack of "choice" when they already have the choice of having the greatest privilege of them all--that of raising kids. And then doubly so, when they expect me to pay for their "lack" of choice. If I even just have the "choice" of raising one child, I will be forever happy and you can bet I won't complain about it. I will be thanking the man upstairs for that "choice" if and when I ever get it and I will make sure that my child won't forget how appreciative I am to have that "choice" of raising him or her. If you have that "choice" already, especially with MORE than one child, I think that one should do the same and count their blessings.
