Then the additional money given to the parents should be taken off them. They can't be expected to "have their cake and eat it".
Either the parents are responsible, or the kids should be taken off them at birth.
They are never going to learn to be responsible, if you keep chucking money at them when they AREN'T being responsible. You can't reward irresponsibility and then expect it to reduce.
