New York Magazine Celebrates Bad Parenting...Again.

New York Magazine, in its desperate quest to be seen as the standard bearer of scoffing, rejectionist urban narcissistic elite, now seems to include a monthly feature that belittles traditional family life (background here). This month's contribution is a guide on how to completely abdicate your role as a parent and hire others to raise your children (even more so than usual).

Aside: If your looking for the issue on the newstand, it's the one with former NJ Governor McGreevey on the cover. Naturally, for New York, McGreevey's is a psychobabbly, civil rights-tinged tale of sexual identity and inner struggle that turned out beautifully, not the tale of a governor of a wealthy and populous state that used to hump strangers in truckstop bathrooms. (One can almost hear an exasperated Bob Menendez sighing "Why now?")
