What you made is irrelevant to what someone else is making in a completely different field of work. Raising and keeping another person alive is the definition of important work. How would you feel if your child was harmed or killed? People do devalue childcare and are cheap bc they only see the outer layer. If you can justify paying a lot for a home just to be in DC then you shouldn’t blink at childcare cost. [/quote]

It's especially odd because when someone decides to stay at home to raise kids they justify a large settlement/alimony by saying they stayed home to care for kids which allowed their spouse to go far in their career.

I don't understand how people determine they "earn" a settlement (sometimes in excess of $1mm) but if they worked they think they shouldn't have to pay a nanny anything beyond minimum wage. Yes, a nanny and a spouse are different, but a nanny isn't just contributing to the well being of your children, she or he is also helping your career. [/quote]
