Full-time Nanny with SAHP - Why?
| Tue, 02-10-2004 - 6:41pm |
Something I've often wondered about, but never had the opportunity to ask. Why do SAHM or SAHD need a full time nanny, especially when they aren't working from home. I can easily see the need if the SAHP is a WAHP, but what is the logic for a full time nanny otherwise?
Any comments?

Again, people who can't figure out the difference have my sympathies.
Is everyone entitled to follow their bliss at their children's expense?
People who find following their bliss (when that bliss excludes children) to be essential probably not ought to have children. Leave that to those whose bliss includes their children.
It's not like you're paying a nanny to care for your children when you could be doing that yourself, your children are in school, and yes, there is a difference, a huge difference.
Nope, that's not what I was saying at all. Poor misinterpretation on your part.
"Why would you assume that just because there is a nanny that the mother never takes care of the kids?"
I don't know, why would I? I never did assume that, I was responding to 2 hypothetical situations thrown out there by other posters.
"That is a more typical pattern than a mother who disappears completely for the entire day leaving all her kids in the care of a nanny." Yes, I realize that very well, so what's your point?
