When her son was born a decade ago, Suzette Trimmer, now 39, became frantic searching for a live-in nanny to takecareof the child while she worked as a college administrator.
The argument fails to consider yet another reality of life: one parent, either a father or a mother, struggling to earn an income and takecareof one child or more, without a spouse for support.
But before I walked down to conduct my final inspection, I continued my tradition of kissing the picture of my wife, Kim, listening to the message she had recorded in the frame, and saying a short prayer to God to takecareof my unborn child if I did not return.
