Concur.
The whole thing smacks of the "having my cake and eating it too" syndrome.
IMHO if a couple cannot give to the child-to-be the attention it deserves perhaps they should reconsider.
Do the couple in question merely want the child as a fashionable accessory to be flick-passed to the nanny when it all gets too hard, or are they prepared for the responsibility of raising a child?
I am fortunate enough to be able to adequately provide for my wife and three boys without her having to go out to work. Yes, we could do a lot better than "adequately" if my wife went out to work, but we choose not to.
Intersting to watch the reaction of some women who ask my wife what she does ("stay home and look after the boys, goats and chooks dear!"). "Oh........that's interesting" they sniff......
