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?

What I'm not buying is that any of those millions of volunteers are putting their kids in daycare for 40 hours a week so they can do so.
Truthfully, I see a lot of your responses as being, "I don't know anyone like that." This doesn't refute anyone's point. Just because you haven't experienced it doesn't mean it doesn't exist or isn't possible.
I have been trying to point out the double standard in the above statement. Sometimes WOH is non-essential, but apparently you and PJM think it is OK to use other care for that. Or do you never view WOH as non-essential?
AND some of us think certain kinds of volunteering are essential - maybe not to my family directly, maybe so. But apparently othercare cannot be used for that either.
They disagree.

That was you, wasn't it?
Again, we're talking about SAHM's who don't NEED help, not those in the above examples who do.
And I also think that if a person truly feels that volunteering is esential, that there are ways to do it without putting your children in othercare.
