[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not get a nanny, au pair or even a housekeeper? That would be cheaper than having your dh quit his job. I can't imagine asking parents to do more because you want to work more. I do think Asian grandparents think this way, but I've never seen it in white families. Hell, most of my friends don't even get postpartum help or help during cancer treatments from their extended family, let alone because they want to go for law firm partner. [/quote] Lol, I had the same thought. My kids are older, but when they were young and my parents lived nearby (about a 45 minute drive) they would watch my kids once a year for a couple hours so Dh and I could go out to dinner. Once a year. For 2-3 hours. I can't imagine asking them to GIVE UP [b]THEIR [/b]CAREER and financial security for retirement, so I could get free childcare full time. Wow. [/quote]
