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?

That is what the discussion is about, being away from your kids for the equivalent amount of time as a fulltime job without having a fulltime job.
How many times did we have to say it before it finally sank in?
Well *I* have managed to work FT and volunteer in various capacities without having to use 40 hour a week daycare.

Doesn't make them neglectful parents. it makes them different from you.
Different from PJM does NOT equal neglectful.
When I moved to the job that I am in now (which I did after he retired) I worked around my DD3 school schedule expanding my hours as she went from elementary school to middle school and now to high school. I now work from about 35-40 hours a week. In the summer I cut back on my hours to about 30 and go in earlier so that I am usually home by 1:00.

and perhaps the reason many people don't volunteer at night and weekends is the same reason why many people don't WORK at night and weekends. Because that isn't when the majority of business takes place in this country. It makes little sense to volunteer at a time when people don't need you. Just like it makes little sense to be a secretary from 11p to 7am if the people you support work from 8am to 6pm.
Unless of course that you're implying that some SAHM's are so incredibly incompetent that they actually need a fulltime nanny.
