I see no problem with families hiring nannies.Agreed -- if a family wants to spend some money on a nanny, and if the nanny wants to take the job at that wage, then everyone should be free to do so. It's called capatalism. It's called liberty. It's a good thing for people to be free and to pursue their own interests this way. Liberals always have mixed feelings about freedom (or worse) -- but that's their problem.

And, it should be pointed out, a lot of the high quality people who used to be maids had very limited career options, and would nowadays be college professors, heads of government divisions, and the like. We had a twice-weekly cleaning lady whose five daughters all got college educations (and this was a very long time ago).

Of course. The primary reason I became an architect was widen the gap between rich and poor and of course to destroy my child's life. Now I see it.
Flanagan is such a dope.

What few will admitbecause it is painful, because it reveals the unpleasant truth that life presents a series of choices, each of which precludes a host of other attractive possibilitiesis that when a mother works, something is lost. Children crave their mothers. They always have and they always will. Good and depressing article(this quote is from the full version at Atlantic Monthly).
