A Sign of the Times and the Journal

Just noticed a blog entry on WSJ.com about Ikea and other stores that offer child care.

This piece follows the piece Michelle Higgins did on Ikea a few weeks back in The New York Times. (Did we mention that the Times piece mentioned Two and a Half Travelers?)

The WSJ blog took a slightly different angle than The Times. They included a few other establishments that offer free child care and raised the question whether germs are a potential deterrent for dropping your kids at the ball room.

I was at Ikea a few weeks ago and the ball room looked pretty full to me!
