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?

My DH works from home so 40 hours a week is perfect for us. If we hire an au pair when we move, I'm sure she'll work more than 40 hours as she'll be in our home already.

My DH wasnt born in America either. He's only been here 8 years. I view him as an Australian American. Thouogh I know he views *himself* as Australian!
So our kids, born in the US are also "officially" Australian Americans. Rubbish...to me...they've never even been there yet and are *Americans* as far as I'm concerned;-)

How many hours a week do you volunteer?
What percentage of your gross income goes to charity?
Oh, that's right, this isn't about us personally.

There certainly seems to be an attitude that if you work you are a good parent. If you work you probably need childcare and that's ok also. If you SAH you are a good parent. If you SAH and use childcare for ANY reason you are a bad, selfish, mean witch who can't think of anyone but yourself. There is no room for other arrangments.
