What kind of terrible parent [doesn’t] let their kids live a life slightly better than they had?
Huh? How about:
What kind of terrible parent isn’t willing to make a small gamble for a substantially better life for their kids?
seems more fair.
Not quite. If my phrasing was confusing, try instead:
What kind of terrible parent lets their kids [merely] live a life slightly better than they had?
Exactly. Or “What kind of parent settles for letting their kids have merely a slightly better life than they had when a dramatically better life might be possible?”
