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?

There may not be many woman that SAH prior to children (although I do know two) but there still are quite a few that remain at home when the children are grown which shows that it is not always all about the kids.
And for the matter, I swear my mother spent 40 hours a week decoupaging when I was a kid. I saw no direct benefit in my mother's decoupage fixation and now I am irritated every time I see her basement and the eight hundred stupid Holly Hobbit domed plaques on the wall. But I certainly don't resent her for my student loans.
Look, if you think it's fine to get a nanny to watch your small children so you can volunteer, go to the spa, play tennis, lunch, or follow your bliss in whatever way you see fit for the majority of the day, you go right ahead, but don't expect me to think you're not selfish if you do.
But you don't have to convince me, go tell it to the kids whose moms have better things to do.
