Personal Chefs. Personal Trainers. Life Coaches. Birthing coaches. And now Personal Baby Planners.
Talk about a “me-centered” society!
What is our world coming to, for crying out loud!

What colors should you use in the nursery? Hire a Baby Planner.
We’ve changed from a do-it-yourself culture to a “hire-it-out” culture -- at least for those who have money left over at the end of the month after paying all their bills. The rank and file still do it the old-fashioned way. Cook dinner themselves, push strollers around the block for exercise, ask mom or grandma for advice, and have fun getting ready for the baby’s arrival.
An article I read about these new baby planners quotes a woman who thinks society imposes on parents-to-be the idea that they should want to do everything themselves for their baby – and she indicates that this is just not necessary, which makes a good reason for hiring a Personal Baby Planner. If the details of becoming a parent bore you, a planner will most definitely alleviate stress over feeling guilty, she seems to be saying.
Well, I say then don’t bother to have kids.
