You have to give kids from ordinary families a ladder. You have to show them there's a way out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you've got a lot of children, I think you let the other children bring them up more and you just sort of step in and do stuff like every now and again.
The problem with children is that you have to put up with their parents.
Raising a family is difficult enough. But it's even more difficult for single parents struggling to make ends meet. They don't need more obstacles. They need more opportunities.
I think families find a dynamic that works for them.
But you can't show some far off idyllic conception of behavior if you want the kids to come and see the picture. You've got to show what it's really like, and try to reach them on their own grounds.
There is virtually nothing I wouldn't be willing to do, to try and make sure that children have a fair shake in life.
You can't raise kids alone, you can't heal alone... you really need a community.
With the amount of money I have, it's difficult raising children the way I was raised.
If you want children to keep their feet on the ground, put some responsibility on their shoulders.
Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy.
