Hmm - isn't this idiom inefficient ?
Doesn't parent.getChildren().add() (or any method on the collection) result
in loading all the children ?

If the only intention is to add the child to the parent shouldn't the
child.setParent(parent) be enough ?

And then if I wish to have the parent in a "correct" state then I just do a
s.load(parent, parent.getId()) ?
