People have nannies and big cars and they want to go to Maui for Christmas. When there are those kind of stakes involved people get ruthless.
One thing I've been happy as peach pie about - because I'm all about the children and the happiness of a woman because that makes the happiness of the home - is that nannies day cares and babysitters are all collapsing which is forcing moms and dads to raise their children at home.
