Wow. No conflict of interest there! /s

I’m hoping to have a baby of my own very soon. When I do, like most mothers I know, I’d much prefer accessible day care, quality public schools, and affordable health care to a metaphorical crown, however glorious it may be.

Let's calculate. Ten hours for sleep. Daycare/school for twelve hours including commute time. That leaves two hours for meals, getting dressed, necessary shopping and the other fun things of life.

Since you will not be seeing the baby may I ask why you are having one?

Just send money to one of those "save the children" charities. You will spend as much time with that child as you would one of your own and they will at least write you letters.

"As it happens, I’m hoping to have a baby of my own very soon."

Great. She's going to reproduce.

Turkey baster alert!

there is “no crown more glorious” than the “crown of motherhood,”

I know of a crown more glorious.
