They sound too busy to be tracking the child's growth first hand --- maybe they figure they'd record it and if they felt like watching it would be after they retired or something.
Too busy to care for their own baby, too busy to take the baby to a decent day care or babysitter. Too busy to just drop in on their home and find out what goes on.

look for legalized euthenasia of the elderly and anyone else who is 'inconvenient'
