I never really went to any doctors or dentist, even though I should have, because my parents either didn't have the money or time. However, they spent their money on gadgets, and they were able to go to the doctors themselves. I just chalked it up to the fact that parents should help themselves out before helping their children. I'm beginning to think that's wrong.
There's more, I think, but class is going to start.

Parents should provide for their children before themselves. Children do not have the bodily resources adults do to be able to continue to remain healthy - but their bodies require more of them because they are still growing. Children should be put first even if that wasn't the case - just out of pure love and to not do so for anything - food, medical care, emotional support, shelter, etc - is neglect.
