The only people ‘who have to work’ are those who have no spouse. They still have family members. It is the selfishness of the got to have more generation that suggests having someone else raise your children is a good idea.
Even when I was growing up those who ‘had to work’ had family taking care of their children. The idea that someone you pay is going to take the time and love and care with your children is beyond words
“The only people ‘who have to work’ are those who have no spouse.”
It’s 2014. You may still be that well off, but tens of millions are not.
“It is the selfishness of the got to have more generation that suggests having someone else raise your children is a good idea.”
Sounds like you don’t get out much. Of course it’s not a good idea, but the “more” that tens of millions are looking for is rent, groceries, and utilities.
“Even when I was growing up those who ‘had to work’ had family taking care of their children.”
Don’t know how old you are, but things have certainly changed in the last 40 years.
“The idea that someone you pay is going to take the time and love and care with your children is beyond words”
Of course it’s best to take care of your own children. What I am arguing with is the notion that everyone could if they only wanted to.
