In my opinion, if Summer really was trying to fight for a better future for Ruby and Yang, that's really admirable and, in its own way, makes her a good parent because she wanted something better for her children. If she was working for Ozpin's brotherhood, that's not really something where she could say "Eh, someone else can do it", especially when she had such an incredibly rare trait. It made her role hard to replace. If Ozpin had given her hope that she could make the future much better for her children, then I think she's a good parent for trying to work toward having her children inherit a world that's at least somewhat better.

Then again, I also do not approve of the "It'll be fine because someone else will do it" stance that you're pushing. If everyone takes that stance, then no one will do it. This literally led to someone dying in my town, and since then, I have been unable to abide by that attitude.

You're also setting aside the fact that, yeah, sure, while Ruby doesn't have children, she is still someone's family member. If the mere fact that someone has family that they'll "selfishly" leave behind if they die on a mission means that they shouldn't take on Huntsman missions, then that leaves very few people in the world to be Huntsmen. Tai, Yang, and Qrow would be devastated if Ruby died on a mission.
