And what you see at 7 years old...you see for life.

Sorry to pull you up on your broad sweeping generalization here but some of us work our collective rings out so "mum" doesn't have to work, and can spend quality time with the little ones. Also, I don't begrudge the missus 1 day a week when the little one is in care so she can have 5 minutes to herself.

Being "wealthy enough" has nothing to do with it, it's more about "structuring" your life around what has to be done to make crap work.

Just because we have got stuff worked out at the moment that suits us and the kids doesn't make me or my partner a bad parent.
