I suppose that depends on one’s priorities, doesn’t it?
It is difficult to think of our religion as one that prioritizes individual learning over feeding one’s children. To take the other side, it is offen a Gemorah (that I quoted earlier) in Eiruvin.

The final arbiter would have to be Halacha, in which we Pasken against the Gemorah in Eruvin. From the Rambam Ishus 12:14
?? ??? ???? ???? ??????? ????, ?? ??? ???? ??????? ???? ??????? ??????, ?? ????? ??? ?? ????. ???? ?????, ?????? ?? ?????? ????? ?????; ??? ?? ???–?????? ??, ???????? ????, ??????? ??. ?? ?? ???–??????? ???? ?????? ???????, ????? ????? ??? ????? ???? ???? ????, ???? ??? ???? ???? ???, ???? ?? ?? ???????. ???? ????? ???? ?????, ??? ??.
So Halacha says the priority should be the children. Unless you have another read on it?
