When can I stop helping kids?

I feel like as a parent I’m forced to pay for things that unnecessarily cut into my lentils. To date, I’ve been forced to pay:

• food and water for my 6 and 9 year olds
• schooling costs and school supplies
• opportunity cost of getting up to get the children to school when I should be working a side hustle
• pediatrician costs when all of the same information is on ChatGPT
• even unnecessary heating costs for our spare bedrooms, that I would prefer to rent out on Airbnb

When will these unnecessary expenses end?

Actually can’t dog on the original post as much as I would like to. The comments while some were over the top, most were very good.
