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?

Envision something like this: both spouses are fervent supporters of candidate X for president. They could contribute $ to the campaign, and probably do, but they mutually agree that the best use of their pooled resources would be for not-employed spouse to volunteer FT on the campaign until such time as X either loses or wins.
So the parents agree to use ft other care during the campaign?
I can see why one parent SAH, or volunteers alot if there are no children involved.

FTR, we do have some college savings, but it is thus far modest - definitely not enough for two full free rides through a 4 year university. We are okay with that. Why would anyone else find that "disgusting"?
