Many parts of this article made me feel ill in the way children are objectified, entitlement attitudes reign, money is worshipped, and personal problem solving is discouraged. There are moms and dads that choose to stay home to train and educate their children (from infants to teen age), not out of a second rate choice, but because they know their kids are worth it. I am sure I could have been a CEO if I wanted. There are working parents that work opposite shifts, bike, work from a home based business, live on rice and beans, without cable/cellphones/other expenses, in less than 1000 square feet (problem solving can go on and on...). We've done all these things. Raising children and being married is not for the faint of heart. Once we turn our responsibility of parenting over to the government or someone else, then we need to accept the consequences. Please don't go crying about the likely negative results you see. We are IN dangerous socialism waters and the author just reinforces it!
