Goodwill for clothes, flea markets for tools and toys, coupon clipping for food. We know exactly how you feel. But we are raising our children to be self sufficient, hard working and honest. My kids go to church every Sunday. My daughter can shoot and my son knows how to live on what's in his backpack. They will be good employees, good citizens and good Christians.
The mom you referenced is not. She has crippled her children far more than she'll ever know. Don't envy them for what they get for free now, pity them for what they will become later.

No, pity the rest of us as we pay ad naseum for their prison care, their free medical care, their disability, their food, their housing, the cost of policing for solving the crimes they do, the cost of their victims and on and on.
You are doing far more to “help” your kids than any liberal who promotes the welfare state ever could or would.
I really despise sheeperals who promote the welfare state because they do it for no other reason than to make themselves feel good about themselves without actually expending any personal effort or sacrifice.
Did I mention I despise these non-thinking libs?
In case there’s a question, I despise them, yes indeed.
I am with you. We are consignment sales/second hand stores for clothes, and are trying hard to teach the kids the value of money. I’m just upset our system allows for the “poor” to have more, at no expense to them, than the working class.
>>They will be good employees,<<
If that’s your measurement you need a sit down, a serious talking to about teaching entrepreneurial skills to your kids. The freedoms and financial benefits far outweigh being a number on a payroll list.
