[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of SAHM bonding is "we're all in the trenches together." In some geographies having help at home would be common and no one would blink an eye. In others, it would be hard to relate to someone so privileged.[/quote]

It sounds like OP is still going to be spending most of the day with at least one of her children. If she takes the 2 and 4 yo to the park while the nanny watches the baby, how is she any different from a SAHM of two with her two kids at the park?

You might say "oh, the nannny can watch her kids while she exercises and goes to appointments." Well, I stay at home, and my husband has a pretty flexible job and can watch our kids if I have an appointment, and he comes home at 530 and I exercise. OP's husband works long hours - she probably doesn't have that kind of help. It's like a SAHM i live down the street from - her husband is a lawyer, he works all day 7-7. We both stay at home, but her life is honestly way harder than mine bc of her husband's job. She has a lot of challenges I don't have even though we both stay at home.[/quote]
