I completely agree with you. I've puzzled about the cause of this phenomenon, but I can't really come up with any good theories as to why this is happening. I guess the simplest answer is that this is just another manifestation of our culture's emphasis on extreme self-involvement at the expense of others (particularly family members). In particular and by way of amusement, I am certain that repellant TV show Sex and the City deserves much of the blame.

Those Sex in The City gals are starting to look a bit pathetic from certain perspectives.

I know personally that Matthew and Sarah Jessica Parker have 2 and at times 3 nannies for their one child. Yet they put on this act for the media about what doting involved parents they are.

I;m not begrudging anyone full time help or servants if they can afford it but 3!!! nannies???....please.
