I don't think it's inherently virtuous to be a parent, or that your children are property that you can treat however you want.

It's a responsibility, and if you can't/won't take care of them properly then you shouldn't impose the burden on them or yourself.

By what metric did they not take care of them properly? I understand that the way they raised their children is not acceptable in your subculture but they’re not in your subculture. Is there some principle here? Getting all one’s children through college is more than a lot of people with two kids manage.
