This triggers me to go on a slightly tangential rant. I hate to hear people who claim they made it all on their own because of their "hard work" without realizing how much support they got from their parents to get there - even when they are grown.

They can do well as a two income family without having to choose between a demanding to career and taking care of their kids because a lot of them have their parents close by to help.

Even when the wife is pregnant, the husband can still chase after his career without missing a beat because he can count on either his mom or mother in law to move in and help.
