And parenting a child (especially a gifted child) is all about making their life easier?

For us multilingualism isn't a choice, but come on, millions of kids in the world, most of which are not gifted, manage two or more languages just fine. You don't have to be "particularly strong in languages" to manage it. Learning through immersion is the closest you can get to first language acquisition. Most human brains are wired for it as part of the standard package.
