Ok, Isn't This a MOM?

This is an add in the Sunday NYT. It goes on for a long time, so I only put the interesting parts in it. But really.. we have dolls that read to our children, we have people to do our shopping for us, (at Sears, they're calling them ELVES...), we have daycare and nannies.. What exactly do we DO anymore? Well, according to the ad below, not get married and have a wife raise our children. We HIRE one!
