  > Early this month, my wife and I spent 3-weeks in Japan with our 3-year-old son. Our second son is only 10 months old and didn't join the trip. We felt it would be hard to keep up with his feeding and sleeping schedule with the intensity of the trip, so he stayed home with his grandparents.

  Wow, I cannot imagine being these parents. Who leaves their 10 month old son three weeks with the grandparents to go on vacation? I cannot judge someone else from the distance and I don't know their life and context but from just this article I get the impression these are parents that have their children mainly for esthetic reasons.
