Is that cynical? It seems like a reasonable guess. It was my first thought before even heading to the article or comments

- hollerith 5y agoGood point. Even if I sincerely care only about my children, if most of their prospective needs require money to meet, the most effective response to a lack of money is to devote more time to getting money and less time to listening.
- taneq 5y agoThis is what infuriates me about all the "I don't care about money, I just wish mum/dad had spent more time with us and less time working" sentiment. Sure, some parents are workaholics at the expense of their kids but I'd wager the vast majority of the time, the parents hate being away from their kids and are only doing it to meet the family's financial needs. If someone truly believes that money isn't important, it just proves their parents shielded them from the ugly side of poverty.
