This [url= http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jul/26/well-off-families-create-glass-floor-to-ensure-childrens-success-says-study ]article[/url], and other stuff I have read, seems to imply that trying to give your own child every advantage you can afford is morally wrong, or even scandalous.
At the moment I work away from home as the money is much better, my primary motivation for this is to help my kids by paying for their schooling, saving for Uni, and hopefully having money/assets to pass on to them as the move forward in life. With the movement against private education and calling for increases in inheritance tax I'm starting to wonder what my purpose is. Surely it is an instinct to try put my kids as far ahead as I can? I feel morally vilified for giving a damn about my offspring.
I wonder if I should stop reading to them or encouraging them to do their homework?
