Before children were ghettoized in day care, mothers ably did all their regular work with a child or two in tow or around. It's perfectly natural. She has a baby and brings him along with her. What the heck is wrong with THAT?

When I was a kid, my mom took a lot of odd jobs to make ends meet. Sometimes she "dragged" me along, and I helped her. At times she was a cleaning woman at rich folks penthouses, I'd clean windows while enjoying the view of S.F. Bay. I enjoyed going along on her various odd jobs, so did my 4 siblings when they had their turns. Taught me the value of work. Never knew I was a "prop".
