I agree with you when it comes to personal care of children. Nannies only serve to alienate the children from the would-be parents.
However, unless you want to roll modern society back to the 1800's (1975 in Canadian years), there are a number of conveniences that don't make one any less of a homemaker. Do you want to grow all your own food? Might be nice, but not necessarily feasible for most people. Do all your home maintenance including sawing up whole trees to make lumber? How much can the average person do on their own automobiles? Does that make them unfit for parenthood?
If people can afford to have someone do basic cleaning of their house, I don't think less of them for it. People should know how, regardless. Same for cooking basic meals.
