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?

But why would the "debate" be any different if we were talking about $12-15 per hour vs. $8? Why should that matter? DC is a more expensive place to live than the area of Northern CA that I live in. Does that enter into it too from your perspective? I mean really, who cares how much I, or anyone else, pays their nanny? You seem a bit obsessed with it...despite claiming a few posts back that you don't care.
Interesting.

My kids will both be in school full time next year (My son is currently in half day kindie), and I do not have any plans to return to work at that time.
Could you have possibly framed the statement in a more negative or ridiculous way? My kids like to know what I do during the day and I usually tell them - however, if I did do something that they would have liked to have done as well (like go garage saling or other "fun" activity), I downplay it - they don't need their noses rubbed in it.
Surely one could call you "filthy rich." In my neck of the woods, $36K a year is a working person's hard-earned wage.

I can think of lots of reasons why it isn't a luxury.
