Amen. That being said, I think the reliance on nannies and baby sitters is sorta twisted. Don't these children have grandparents, aunt and uncles, other relatives, or family friends that can watch them for one or two afternoons a week? It saddens me that so many people have such a need for outside help... don't you have extended families with the slightest interest in your offspring?! [ Reply | More ]

did it occur to you that families might not live nearby? We have no immediate family here - moved here because we have extended family with young kids. Would love to have grandparents help, and they'd love to, but they don't live in areas where my dh could ever find work. BIG assumption you're making! [ Reply | More ]

i have an 8, 5 and 3 yo. I have no help. I wouldn't know what to do with help if I had it, except maybe get better 1-on-1 time with each. [ Reply | More ]

I would get like one morning or afternoon a week so you can have self-time. Also, it depends on dh's schedule. If he's never home I would get more maybe. [ Reply | More ]

I am a new sahm and I have someone 2 full days a week. The me time is really important for my sanity. I know I can do it without the help as I have done it, but I don't feel I have anything to prove. [ Reply | More ]
