It seems to me like it's getting more and more common. Couples (who, I might add, have had 9 months to find a solution), come into the hospital to have their baby with absolutely no plans of what to do with their other kids.
Let's see... recently, I've been asked "Will you please look after the children during my wife's labor?" "Who is going to watch my daughter while my wife is in labor?" "What do you mean, you don't supply a daycare?!"
Are you folks kidding me?! Who, exactly, is going to look after your wife while I look after your kids?!
People are obviously so concerned with this that they ask all of the appropriate questions during their prenatal class and tour (Did you happen to see the daycare on the tour, perhaps?!). Or not. Do some hospitals provide daycare as a free service? I wasn't aware we were doing so well financially! At least it's not reflected on my check! And, most importantly, from where did this sense of entitlement come from?! Or wait... That's Pet Peeve #2...
