[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it’s because focusing your attention exclusively on your 2 year old for 8 hours doesn’t sound that healthy. The only benefit of SAH (IMO) is more time, flexibility, and less stress. You seem to somehow have turned parenting into a job. If you like it that way fine - but there’s nothing better about your way. [/quote]

Then why don’t people ask nannies to run a bunch of errands or clean the house with a 2 year old in tow?[/quote]

Because nannies won’t do it as part of their job. But then they want to be on their cell phone during their job. Can’t have it both ways. SAH moms can and should because they are the boss. Plus they need to get those errands done![/quote]

alternatively, the job of nanny and the job of SAHM are totally different. In any event, I always treated my nannies with trust and humanely. If they needed to make a phone call or rest during the baby’s nap - fine with me. I also had no problem with the nanny getting out of the house and socializing with other nannies during the day. My other nanny used to have friends or her sister come by some time. It was all good and much better than seeing childcare as some kind of highly controlled activity. My kid does not need to be cares for in a SCIF! [/quote]
