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?

Gotcha!

If your children figure out that you or your dh's salary alone could have provided a comfortable life for everyone, including paying for most of or all of their undergrad costs, should they resent you or dh for not choosing to SAH?

My youngest son is very attached to me. If I let him he would spend 24 hours a day with me. I love him to pieces, but need to have SOME time away from him. I do not feel that he needs to go with me to get my hair done, or to be at the gym with me. So he spends 3 days a week in preschool so I can do some things for myself. Although he would prefer to be with me during that time I feel it is better for him to be away for some time.

I am sure glad that this mentality wasn't the conventional wisdom 100 years ago or we would still be sitting on our hands come election day!

I'm more obligated to pay for my childrens' education than I am to save the world and volunteer for 40 or 50 hours a week, every week.
