I accept what you say but I still think it's a matter of perspective. If taken worldwide, it's very definitely a matter of perspective. Living in a house with a car and clothes is, genuinely, something the minority of people on this planet have. I don't know what country you're in but there's a poverty line in even the richest countries, with people homeless and hopeless and lost.
You are arguing at the very highest end of the spectrum, and I think it's a little small-minded. To most of the world, it's a little like Bill Gates criticising Donald Trump for buying his child a 200ft yacht instead of a 250ft yacht. Because, to most of the world, you and I are the equivalent of Bill Gates.
All that aside, I understand that this is an individual case for concern for you, but while the child isn't malnourished, social deprived, or in danger of life-threatening disease due to infected water, a little boredom may just fire their imagination in other ways, rather than be responsible to others to constantly provide entertainment for them.
I understand how and what you're thinking, but the more simple idea is this..If they can't afford to raise another child even if they want one terribly so, why chance it now? If she really wants another, she can work. I just feel they will go into debt if she has another. Thats pretty much what will happen and her entire family will suffer when it could have been prevented. It's just so sad and so preventable, you know?
Is it normal for someone to not afford to take their child to seaworld

I so agree. Its selfish of her to not sacrifice her time to contribute to the family financially and change their status to in debt to okay.
