Most parents these days have to rely on their force of personality and whatever love and respect they can inspire to exert any influence over their children at all, but there is still an awful lot of parental authority that big money can buy. Multi-millionaires have more of everything than ordinary mortals, including more parent power, and their sons and daughters have as much opportunity to develop according to their own inclinations as they could have had in the age of absolute monarchy①.
The rich still have families.
The great division between the generations, which is so much taken for granted that no one remarks on it any longer, is the plight of the lower and middle classes, whose children begin to drift away as soon as they axe old enough to go to school②. The parents cannot control the school, and have even less say to what company and ideas the child will be exposed to; nor can they isolate hint from the public mood, the spirit of the age. It is an often-heard complaint of the middle-class mother, for instance, that she must let her children watch television for hours on end everyday if she is to steal any time for herself. The rich have no such problems; they can keep their offspring busy from morning to night without being near them for a minute more than they choose to be, and can exercise almost total control over their environment. As for schooling, they can hand-pick tutors with sound views to come to the children, who may never leave the grounds their parents own, in town, in the country, by the sea, unless for an exceptionally secure boarding school or a well-chaperoned trip abroad, It would have been easier for little Marianne Montgomery to go to Cairo than to the nearest newsstand.

A. The rich control their children's lives without being near them.
B. The generation gap only occurs in the lower and middle classes.
C. Rich parents have more authority over their children than poor parents.
D. Very rich girls are rather dependent as a result of being overprotected by their parents.
