Today in the Fashionable Flouting of Child Labor Laws

Posted by on Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 11:59 AM

From MSN Now:

This incredible Baby Mop outfit turns your baby from an eating, pooping, crying machine into a housework helper. No, it’s not a joke — this is a hot item on the betterthanpants.com website, boasting that in addition to polishing your floors as baby crawls, the $40 glorified onesie will ensure your baby develops a “strong work ethic” early in life.

Thank you, Metafilter.

Technically, family members may be employed by their parents in the home and the family business, with a lot fewer regulations than you would think.

Now, if you use other people's babies to clean your floors ... but perhaps Mop Enabling your child teaches them valuable life skills, like how they should be Serfs, not Citizens?
