Scrooge does not believe in giving to the poor because he values money and success above all else. He sees poverty as a sign of personal failure and weakness, and believes that helping the poor will only encourage laziness and dependency. He is also selfish and lacks empathy for others.

In truth, Dickens never reveals the status of Scrooge's mother in the story. We are given to believe that his father was stern, perhaps even violent in temper, and was not fond of his son and heir. This attitude remained until Scrooge was a young man, and then was allowed to return home with his sister, after his father had softened his attitude towards him. But of the mother we have no information. Not even a mention.
