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 cost of living in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN is 1.4% lower than in Sacramento, CA. Therefore, you would have to earn a salary of $147,939 to maintain your current standard of living. Employers in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN typically pay 10.3% less than employers in San Francisco, CA. Therefore, if you take the same type of job in the same type of company in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN you are likely to earn $134,575."
But we'd have to pay a nanny $15-17 per hour? Again, just strange.

It's called taking care of your own.
My point is that my working and your volunteering are in no way equivalent.

But you keep changing it.

"Do you really believe it's more important to volunteer 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, than to either do paid work or SAH with your children?"
I never mentioned such an idea. I believe giving to the community is very important and that it should not be relegated to those who don't have children or those who have saved for college.
