Sliver forgot to include several other categories of parents that don't offload to others at work:
- parents already well enough off to have nannies
- parents who have their children a few or more years apart and get help from older siblings
- parents who have help from their close relatives
- parents who decide one of them should work and the other should stay at home in the real full time job

I don't know if I forgot to mention those more than I was just talking about people in situations that don't necessarily have that help. Parents shouldn't be burdening coworkers as a first option, but in many cases it may be the only option.
As for nannies, there are a lot of people who could comfortably afford nannies, but choose not to. I think my opinion is clear that I believe parents should be spending as much time as they can with their kids, not nannies. I will admit to having looked into a nanny in moments of weakness, however.
