The New Aristocracy

It has occured to me, that IF Hillary Clinton were to be elected President, that would mean that for 24 years the Presidency will have had been held by two families. And not even extended families.

Is this not rather alarming?

True that. My son has kids in his class that are being raised by live in nannies. The parents are never around. I think we're lucky that my wife enjoys staying home with the kids. They are so happy and our 5 year old is such a good big brother to our 9 month old daughter. Theres so much that kids learn from their parents that they wouldnt learn from day care providers. I know that this day and age alot of families have both parents working, but for a lot of them its because they want the million dollar house, the 2 luxery cars and the posh lifestyle. Mabey its the way they grew up and its a reciprical thing.

I taught second grade...trust me, it is obvious who is raising most kids today.

Your kids will be winners in the long run. And you and your wife will have all the things you desire some day. But most of all, you will have good kids.

That is much more valuable than a million dollar house that you might have to put up to bail a kid out of gaol.
