[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow!  Maybe the hired driver can come inside the school and cheer your kids on during their sports events, plays, etc.  Maybe he could even attend your parent conferences as well -- those can really be inconvenient.  How about trips to the doctor?  Wow, you've really hit on something here.  
The next time I head to the airport, I'll just see if the driver wants to move in with us.  Just think how convenient that would be.

Heaven forbid!  It's so much nobler for mom to become a chauffeur.

Seriously, since when did driving become a requirement of parenthood?  Luckily, no one told me or I'd be childless.

And do you feel the same way about meal preparation?  Do you let STRANGERS cook for your child???  You know, like at a restaurant?[/quote]

Seriously.  Why is being there for your child so abhorrent to you.  It's not that driving, specifically, is a requirement of parenthood.  Rather it is "being there," "being present," and not off-loading every responsibility.
Your analogy of a restaurant/meal prep is so off base.  The appropriate analogy would be dropping your child off at a perfect stranger's home handing the stranger some money and asking them to provide a meal.  Very different from a restaurant - yet quite analogous to the stranger/cab driver along in a car with your child.
