I'm not sure how much I agree with the general sentiment that raising children is better undertaken by the amateur ( or parent ). Sometimes kids get stuck with really shitty parents and I feel bad that they don't get the same kind of start to life. I guess I'm more of the " it takes a village" kind. I do think the parents should have an active role but professionals do a great job helping out.

Having said that I currently think baking bread is worth doing. I'm certainly not a professional but I just finished a cheese loaf and it's surprisingly good. Having fresh bread is worth the few loafs I completely mess up ( like last night's )
