Re Gellar and Prinze. “When asked how they’re juggling parenting their two kids. . .” I’m guessing it helps to have a substantial amount of wealth and, probably, nannies, aids, etc. I have no kids (my contribution to future generations), but, while I’m not questioning their attention to parenting, how do couples working 50/60 hours each just to pay the bills do it? If they’re quality parents, I commend them. For the middle or lower class quality parents working 2 ×40+ hours jobs, I salute you. To the quality single parent working full time, I’ll give you a standing ovation.
