I'm sorry, I have been as clear as possible.

You pay a mechanic to do something it would take you only 15 minutes or so to learn to do yourself (change oil). Are you "above" learning it? If not, why haven't you learned it. It takes less time than...cleaning a toilet. But, using your line of logic, if you won't take the short amount of time it would take you to learn, it logically follows that you feel "above" learning it.

Kind of OT, but don't you think it's ironic that we're supposedly facing an obesity epidemic among our kids, yet it's considered too far to walk if they live more than a mile from school?

How many recesses a day?

Our teachers already wish they could have more instructional time with the students. I've heard that particular refrain from them a number of times. i've never heard them talk about a lack of planning/prep time.

So then it's quite clear that the nannies and housecleaners that have been discussed are not strangers just because at one single moment in time, they were.

I totally respect that, there are certain things that are a breach of my personal security for myself and my family, deep cleaning is not one of those secutiry issues.

When i was at home with my kids full time befor i rejoined the business world I too would have felt the way you do about house cleaning about a nanny expecially day care, trust issue for me.

There came a point in my life that i knew i needed to hire a professional to focus on my children's daily need's when i could not, it was a huge step for me to allow anyone into our life to help us with childcare.
