There’s a cool new service, well new to me anyway, the Brit’s have call Babyplanners.

“babyplanners is an all-embracing service for women expecting their first baby. Through one-to-one sessions at home or the office, we’ll take care of all the organisational aspects of having a baby on your behalf…”

Cool eh? Ahhhh, not so much. In a word, depressing. We’re so entrenched in needing two incomes to survive that we’re left hiring total strangers to play the roles typically played by family, friends, and community.

I think it’s great that they saw an opportunity and built a business around it. It just depresses me that the opportunity even existed.
