"it’s whether your parents have money"

There is - the kid's parents having money is not his/her accomplishment.

You mean the children are subsidizing the parents?

Parenting without money is disallowed.

No, I think the parent is saying that having money might not fix you but it might fix your kids.

I guess their parents should have avoided having kids focusing instead on getting richer.

It's quite possible that other people are subsidizing your children more than you are theirs.

If you value money more than your kids.

Parents pay for that, perhaps without realising.
