I agree, people seem to un-care a bit with the children nowadays.
Mothers have to work and put the child in daycare.
(Maybe a result from "have to work as the house prices have increased beyond single workers payment capability"?)
Responsibilty for raising once children seems to be reducing with the daycare in mind.
Later , after putting the child in his buggy , she lites up another sigaret and thinks it's "Absolutely Fabulous".
