I'd say poor kids of young mothers on benefits nowadays are more often spoilt brats than the the kid's of working parents. Actively investing in your kid getting basic stuff like good healthy food and having the time to cook it costs time and money. Buying cheap food, ignoring their schooling and then buying them designer clothes is the easy option.

OK, so you'd say that about poor kids of young mothers on benefits. Do you back that up with data? Good healthy food is more expensive, goes bad faster, and requires time, and since poor kids are specified here they tend to live in what are called food deserts where such things are less accessible. When has "designer" clothing been the fad? The disco era? Are these kids wearing Jordache Jeans?

What is your home planet? That's not how it works here.
