[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. It’s genius because she outsourced basically everything her life: parenting, cooking, cleaning...while just working from home![/quote]
Didn’t realize sending your kids to school/daycare was called outsourcing parenting. You seem jealous. I would love to be able to spend my 4 hours a day with my kids just hanging out and not doing the dinner / pickup / commute scramble.[/quote]

What percentage of working moms have left the workforce since the start of this pandemic?  Yeah!  We all are doing the best that we can because there are no govt and corporate policies to make things better for parents and women.

Sorry, I am not going to defend my desire to continue working or parent my kids the way I parented. I am wholly satisfied with having my kids at home with a nanny and my mom. Yes, I could have saved thousands if I would have let my mom babysit my kids, but I did not want to tax my mom at her age. The fact that there were two or three people to look after my kids and my house, and my mom had to only supervise with a lot of help was great for my family.  In fact , it also helped my DH  because he had the flexibility of getting more career enhancing credentials even after we had two kids.    However,  all of this cost us a lot of money to outsource and we did have to dial down on material things like expensive home or expensive cars etc. [/quote]
