How the rich neglect their kids

Only 49 minutes with your child, a day, is a disgrace. Whether you are poor, or privatise your care out, you are a disgrace. Especially for the first 3 years of a child's life, there must be one main carer, preferably the mother.  Yet there are extremely well off people, taking mammon over love, and employing nannies, posh nurseries, a myriad of music lessons, dance lessons, sport lessons, to minimise contact with their furthest and fearest. At least the poor have an excuse. And when the 'dahling' kids get home, they are shoved in front of the pianoforte, telly, xbox or other computertainment, no wonder our kids are depressed.

Cuddle 'em, talk to 'em, laugh with 'em, cry with 'em, argue with 'em, tell 'em off, liven up your sterile, upper middle class, minimalist homes with a bit of the mess of human kindness!
