That being said not all cousins’children will need, or deserve, help. The reasoning you expose (there are several kids, we can’t do it for all so we’ll do it for none) was used among relatives who couldn’t see why one 17 year old should go to college when none of the others did. The fact none of the others had any wish to go college and were content working for the local factory (save for those in jail) didn’t factor in and this created incredible bitterness and rifts in the family.
