although folks did remark on her tendency to parade the children in front of a camera.

The point is not that one is less valuable than the other (I have done it both ways as well), it is that Ann Romney is not one to relate to working class women when she is hiring those same women to take care of her house and children for her. At her income level "the choices we make" are much, much easier (and I know that from experience as well, living at a few different income levels).
