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?

Both my dh and I came out of college with considerable loans. Do I have a beef with my mom who SAH my whole life? Does dh have a beef with his father taking a disabled retirement when he was still in junior high? Nah. We are supremely grateful for the guidance and love we were given as children. Somehow, our parents instilled in us a reverence for education WITHOUT PAYING OUR ENTIRE COLLEGE TUITION.
But that's apples and oranges.

Did I miss something in this huge thread....but why would someone have to stop contributing if they went to work to help save for college expenses?

You can't let a child decide what is best or most important just by begging for it. Can you say Varuka from Willie Wonka???
If a person can work full-time and take care of their children well, then a person can volunteer or "follow their bliss" for the same amount of time and also take care of their children well.
Mom volunteers 40+hours/week at the expense of not saving for the kids' college.
