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?

The point I was trying to make is that yes, parents have a right to spend their time as they choose. And choosing to spend time away from your children for things that are not necessary is not the exclusive domain of parents who work.

Is there a reason a lower middle income family cannot volunteer at night when the kids are asleep, or on the weekends?

I can see the volunteers down in the special ed room at school dropping their valuable support to go work at WalMart and KMart to sell nail polish to the masses. I can see the guy down at the police station who gives tours of the police station and tickets those in handicapped parking spots quitting his volunteer position so he can work at McDonald's so he can contribute to his grandchildren's college funds. I can see the choir director at church chucking her responsibilities to work at the music store for $8 an hour for the next fifteen years so she can send her stepchildren to one semester at the U.
So now, on top of giving no value to SAH, you seem to give very little value to volunteering.
Sorry you can't get over it, but my children come first before my community or my extended family. Frankly I don't understand how anyone would put their community before their kids but there are all kinds I guess.
I assume a PTO in any community functions the same way, with a lot of help from parents, most of them who also work outside the home. I have a feeling it's not the moms who volunteer 40plus hours a week who are keeping the PTO afloat, I think it takes a little bit of help from a lot of people.
Your reading comprehension is really poor.

Get over the volunteering thing, it has nothing to do with what your doing, only that what your doing isn't necessary (ie, not a job0 and it takes you away from your kids all day.
But where does that justification end?
