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?

(I should know. For quite a number of years, as the youngest child and the only one born in the US, I was the only American in my immediate family.)
I volunteer and that takes me away from my kids for far less than 40 hours a week. It is not necessary for me to volunteer but it something that I WANT to do.
That is why they are equivalent. They are both uneccessary. They are both things that we want to do. And they both take us away from our kids.
And for the record, I haven't had a nanny since I stopped working ft, 4 years ago. I just don't think it would be WRONG for me to have one.

But if volunteering 40 hours a week is selfish why isn't working 40 hours a week selfish? If my family's need for me is so great that I shouldn't be away for 40 hours why is is so great to work those 40 hours for pay? Especially if the money is not to be used for basic survival? I don't think it's bad to work for pay, but I just can't understand why it is so terrible to volunteer alot of hours but it's ok to work them for pay.
