"<br /><br />If the parents have flexible schedules and the kids are willing to pitch in and do their own laundry/vacuuming especially, it's really not that big of an issue to go without domestic help. My family never had domestic help, even with both parents working full-time after I was about 12. We were pretty comfortable with clutter though, although things didn't descend into chaos. I think as long as the parents are laid-back and the kids half-way responsible for their own mess, domestic help is unnecessary.BamaGirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-46687544045186031152010-04-15T20:51:57.195-07:002010-04-15T20:51:57.195-07:00"Anonymous said...

People are insulated from the demands of combining childrearing and housekeeping with careers until they have children themselves, then they cobble together individual solutions that may or may not work. It doesn't really break down by class at all. I've known blue collar couples who employed nearly fulltime household help in addition to childcare, and whose households were therefore peaceful and orderly, and elite upper class professional class couples who only outsource childcare and refuse to hire someone to do the jobs they were too exhausted to do and live in the consequent filth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-32355528401947169212010-04-15T05:22:24.599-07:002010-04-15T05:22:24.599-07:00It is rather amazing that Turner Classic Movies (T...It is rather amazing that Turner Classic Movies (TCM), which at this point must be by accident the most conservative cable channel, has for two years had Alec Baldwin as the co-host for its most important movie of the week, the “Essentials.” <br /><br />A few years ago TCM came under fire from Asians residing in America for showing the Charlie Chan movies! TCM caved in at first, then reversed again under pressure from actual viewers (among whom the Asian activists must have been few indeed). But since then it is clear that Charlie Chan will never appear on American TV again. <br /><br />I just don’t understand why cable TV has undergone such a dramatic transformation for the worse in the last ten years. It is simply awful now when it was OK in parts before. <br /><br />It certainly isn’t that American women have changed that much, or that gays have just now gained a foothold inside the TV, Hollywood, advertising axis. And the awful unreality of reality TV is only a symptom of the disease. One factor must be that more people from a more “diverse” demographic gained access to cable, whereas previously “urban” views (e.g., racial minorities and gays) relied on broadcast TV and once hooked up to cable provided an audience for really crappy TV. <br /><br />It is almost as if the TV programmers have gotten ahead of themselves and begun programmer for a post-American demographic, where nonetheless most of the aliens still speak a form of English.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-89922709665716476122010-04-15T05:06:05.032-07:002010-04-15T05:06:05.032-07:00Similarly, many conservatives have to lump it with...<i>Similarly, many conservatives have to lump it with NPR, since despite its annoying left-wing bias it's the most intelligent news station around.</i> <br /><br />Dude, I hate to break it to you, but if you listen to NPR, then you are NOT a conservative.<br /><br />PS: Don't even waste your breath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-48693074505080568132010-04-15T04:59:51.786-07:002010-04-15T04:59:51.786-07:00Mr. Anon said: "And yet Robert Osborne, whom ...<i>Mr. Anon said: "And yet Robert Osborne, whom I otherwise don't mind, natters on about the damned blacklist everytime they screen a movie that was written by a commie.

I have no problems with Mothers, and I plan on being a Mother eventually too, although I don't want a big family or anything. What I don't understand is the constant complaints about professional women, especially since the majority of them work to provide a more decent standard of living for the family. <br /><br />Also, once kids reach a certain age, it's not as if they are being abandoned if both parents work- kids are away from home 8 hours of the day from age 5/6 onwards. A parent can have a flexible work schedule and still adequately take care of their child at this point. And once a child hits middle-school (11 or so) there is nothing even remotely detrimental about both parents working, as long as they are there for their kids when they need it (soccer games, homework, dinnertime etc).<br /> I'm not belittling the role of motherhood at all just because I suggest some women may want some other secondary pursuit in order to feel satisfied with life. It's generally accepted that most fathers have this need so why should it be a surprise that some women do? <br /><br />Also, irresponsible versions of motherhood should not be glorified to the extent it is now, with teenagers and financially unprepared women popping out kids before they are ready. These sorts of women are a much bigger problem for society than working middle-class moms.BamaGirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-82323440196660325282010-04-14T21:42:25.159-07:002010-04-14T21:42:25.159-07:00Mr. Anon said: "And yet Robert Osborne, whom ...Mr. Anon said: "And yet Robert Osborne, whom I otherwise don't mind, natters on about the damned blacklist everytime they screen a movie that was written by a commie.
