Platinum Babies

Heavens no - not mine! Did you there is a show on TV by this name? It's crazy! I tuned in for the first time today and watched part of one episode - that was all that I could handle.

This husband and wife conceived twins via IVF, so thought they needed to spoil them. The nursery was over $40000 - with the bedding for each bed at $550 each! And then the post-partum doula to 'teach them how to parent' - $3300/week. Yes, $3300 per week! Oh my gosh - just can't get over it.

It's just incredible to me that these people spent that much on a nursery - think of how many people in this world don't even make 1/2 of that in an entire year and those poor people in Haiti - $40000 would be like the lottery to them.

Ok, off my soapbox now....
