It seems like all these parenting magazines make assumptions about their readers . 1) That they are married- Lots of people are single parents by choice , by circumstance , or by divorce. 2) That people who have children are older in their 30's - Lots of people have children in their early , mid and late 20's. 3) That all of the people who have children make boo coo bucks - Here's an example taken out of Baby Talk magazine October 2006 pg. 55 -
Article: Foolproof Finance - " Should you go back to work ? A personal nanny may run you $20,000 or more ."
Who wounld even consider that ? The average person makes a little over $20,000 per year.
Why don't they write things for normal , everyday people ?

Maybe more than $20,000 per year. But you're missing the point. why don't they just showcase things that are more affordable off the bat so that people can go out and purchase them? Besides if they are advertising for their sponsers , you can sell more things that are cheap faster than you can sell things that are more expensive.

i know how you feel i have seen magazines like that and i think its crazy i have not yet seen one that are for NORMAL people most people these days have children at a much younger age and more than likely not married most everyone i know is not married out of all my friends me and one other person is married and we arent rich enough to hire a nanny hahaha i think someone should write a long letter to their editor for that magazine and tell them this isnt 1950 anymore

Here is one to get to see how the rich live. Cookie Magazine $1200 for a toy, a few thousand for a stroller. Subscription are dirt cheap though like $12.00 for 2 years. It is a cool way to see all the hot new products and then find cheap affordable versions for the rest of us average $20,000 a year people.

I agree it seems like the subscribers are meant to be well-to-do business executives who just happen to have kids. Where's the magazine for the regular people out there?
