You can, actually. And Tai too, in a way. They both knew the risks Huntsmen take every time they go on a mission, but at least Summer went out anyway. Tai at least was a teacher at Signal, which is not inherently dangerous and also both helps people and makes money for the family. Summer could've done something similar.

Besides, they live in a humble hut in the forest, they clearly aren't the type of people to want much money, if only because they are largely self-sufficient.

So yeah, one can really argue that Summer was being selfish and naive when she went out on life-threatening missions just "to make money and help people", despite knowing that her (very young) daughters could be left motherless if something went wrong, and also knowing that Tai already lost a loved one already.

Which in a better show would be a nice thing to see. A person who is undeniably kind and good-hearted but whose desire to help people and the way they choose to do it end up making them a terrible parent, even if their kids still love them for the most part.
