[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I simply can't imagine a life where this is an option.  Not because of the money but because it seems so starange to me to invite a strange into the house to care for a newborn while everyone else is asleep. I am genuinely curious... perhaps I am missing something -- this does not seem scary to anyone else? [/quote]

Not something that ever crossed my radar because A) we don't have the money and B) it's just unheard of in my circle of friends and family so it never crossed my mind. That said, I do remember when we were being released from the hospital saying "Oh my god, we have to do this all by ourselves now. No way." It would have been comforting to have one of my awesome labor/delivery/maternity nurses come home with us. But I think it could be compared to a cultural difference in that it's very foreign to me, (and I admit I struggle to understand how parents could have this mindset that it's not part of the gig to deal with their own babies at night)...but I try to accept it like any other differences I encounter in life.
