It's the kind of behaviour that can turn a guy right off, and more than one formerly faithful husband goes looking for that pre-infant allure someplace else, leaving mom at home with the apple of their eye. It's us or them. But I find that here is a perfect place for it. The Yuppie couple believes the secret to life is buying quality. Not ordinary quality, but exotic quality.
Yuppies have children the same way they have cars, the smart way.
In this respect, Yuppie is just a new word for fool. Because the Yuppie will find out that children cannot be solved like other consumer dilemmas. It doesn't matter how many books you read, or how much money you have, or what kind of baby car seat you buy, or what Montessori school you send them to, children are not like all the other commodities they encounter. Children, unlike contentment, cannot be bought. Children are the Yuppie Achilles heel.
