Outsourcing your parenting tasks
Written by Abel Cheng

No time to prepare lunch for your kids? Not free to send and pick up your son from a soccer training?

No worries. You can outsource these tasks to someone else. Parenting is getting more complicated now with today's busy lifestyle.

I read with amazement this story of Parenting Subcontractors about a company called Health e-Lunch Kids. It charges parents $4.99 apiece for the homemade, nutritious meals it delivers each day.

Need ferrying services for kids? You may need to call Mother Hen's Helpers.

I am not sure if parenting subcontractors would help improve parent-child relationship. Some people may end up spend less time with children because of this service. They use the “saved” time on their work instead.

But personally, I still think parents have to involve and spend time with children. You just can’t let others do the job for you. Listening to and communicate with children are, among others, stuff that you can't outsource.
