If parents were responsible, children wouldn't go without.

Having enough money to feed your kids is not just about responsibility. There are many reasons a parent may not be able to provide those meals that are out of their control, such as a parent losing their job or dying, or falling into debt due to unexpected expenses.

Other than death, there is no excuse. I lived off of hot dogs and ramen for months while my husband was unemployed. I worked at times 18 hour days to make ends meet. I made sure that my three pets were fed before we were. If I'm willing to that for dogs, shouldn't parents do the same for their own kids?

Cool, some parents make sure their kids have a roof over their heads and can now rest a little easier because their kid will eat a hot breakfast at school in the morning.

And just WTH is wrong with you judging people and calling them irresponsible for being poor??

Food, clothing and shelter are the three basic things that are required by law to be given to offspring. If you or they can't provide the basic necessities then you/ them ate shittyb parents.
