[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm all for outsourcing, but does anyone worry that we're not teaching our LOs how to care for themselves? How will they learn to cook, garden, grocery shop, do laundry, etc., if we don't teach them? [/quote] It doesn't have to be black or white. Outsourcing doesn't necessarily mean you never do any of those things in daily life. Just because we have a housecleaning service once a week, doesn't mean that we NEVER clean in between -- we have to, or else the place would get pretty gross. So yes, our kids do learn how to sweep, wipe down counters, clean toilets, vacuum, etc. And relying on meal services or take-out also doesn't mean that we NEVER cook -- we cook quite a bit, actually, and our kids help us.
