Whoa! Here's a job opportunity for you, Bunky.

Mom, Dad, stop your crying -- you can hire a parenting coach:

These days, it's possible to outsource nearly every part of parenting -- except maybe the hugs -- as a burgeoning industry springs up in the Bay Area and major cities around the country to help busy, well-financed moms and dads who lack either the time or the self-confidence to do what past generations of parents did by themselves.

This new growth industry also includes potty trainers, party planners who specialize in the under-10 set and lice removal experts. Yes, Bay Area parents can even hire someone to come to their house and pick the nits out of their loved ones' locks.

So if you get laid off from your job down at the plant you can always be a lice picker. Who knew?
