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 money goes to keeping our school going. Jewish day school is expensive. It costs over $10K to educate each child. But we don't charge that amount because in our community, few could pay it. So we fundraise to make up the difference.
I consider my fundraising to be invaluable to my community. We are the only Jewish day school in our regional area. Without it, we would have to truck our children 100 miles one way each day to get the same education.
I consider it my responsibilty to take care of my own AND give back to my community. Maybe you think people shouldn't have access to a school they can't pay full price for, but I totally disagree.

My DH and I also give to charity.

I would think a child would have a better reason to think a parent "neglectful" who volunteered extensively on top of a 40-50 hour workweek than one who did so the 40 hours a week the majority of parents are gone anyhow.
By the time we get all three of our DDs through school we will have spent probably about $90,000 on tuition (less if DD3 decides to go to a state college which is where she is leaning). So far we have been paying for that with loans (we are hoping the market does a good turn around before DD3 goes so we can sell some stock and pay cash for at least some of her years). When we bought our house we purposely bought a house that cost half of what we qualified to make that posssible. We think borrowing that $90,000 for our DDs education is a much better idea than borrowing that $90,000 for a bigger house.
