[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is childcare work when someone is paid to do it but not work when a parent does it? [/quote] Because in one case it’s parenting/living life.[/quote] This. It’s nit a job. It’s a relationship. I wouldn’t quit my job to be a nanny for some other children, but it’s very important for me to be able to be home with my own children. It’s kind of like brushing your teeth. Brushing a strangers teeth is a job. Brushing your own teeth is part of life. And while I probably wouldn’t pay a lot or need someone highly educated to brush my teeth if I couldn’t do it, I would give up a lot to be able to do it on my own. [/quote]
