However, cable TV is a luxury. As is owning a TV, cell phone, AC, dishwasher, etc, etc, etc. In my opinion, you should have discontinued cable service (and other luxuries) yourself long before you ran out of money. I think you already knew the answer to this question. You just needed ammunition for your kids. You're the parent! You set the rules. Don't set the example for your kids that they need to get validation from the internet community. We are not your friends, family or clergy.

Kids have to learn the value of money. Cable TV is a luxury, not a necessity! Teaching them to let go of certain things in life will help them in the long run. Of course they will gripe, whine, and complain for a while; but trust me, they WILL get over it.... mine did!! No, it is not bad and you have no reason to feel guilty about it.

My grandparents were born in the 1800's and they never knew any such thing. They also never saw a microwave oven. They did not have a phone and would have to go to the post office to use the phone to call me. They did ok. They became some of the wealthest people in the little town they lived and died in. My kids have never know about cable till I got divorced. The first thing thier mom did was get cable. They visit mom every other weekend and watch tv all weekend. With me its bikes, books, bouncing on the tramp, playing dress up (they are getting old enough now that I think they are growing out of that one) collecting bugs, roller skating and the list goes on. Over the summer my middle daughter put on a lot of weight. Too much tv at moms house. Its time for her to get out and move. Yes the kids will miss it at first. Yes they will be better off for it.

Kids watch too much TV anyways. This would be a perfect opportunity for YOU to do things with your kid away from the TV. :) Just be thankful you have money for food! Kids watch too much TV anyways.
