Bah! What a load of cods wallop ! Perhaps kids should stay in utero
until they are adults ?

The upper and middle class Victorians had the right idea. The children
had a nanny so the parents only saw the kids for a few minutes every day
until they were almost ready to marry.

I think their motives were different though lol

My second cousin, in London, is a Nanny. She has worked for a French
family, living in London, for several years. I think the kids range from
5-11.......and she started when the eldest was 10 weeks old. The family
wanted the children to grow up totally bilingual, and totally familiar
with the British culture.

She is 33...and takes such pride (parental) in the youngsters
accomplishments.
