Analyze why this matters to you.[/quote]

I was pretty clear, she gets more free time in a week then I get in two months yet she’s adopted the persona of a beleaguered single mom doing it all on her own. I’ve noticed others do it as well. 
I was raised by a single mom, my father removed himself to the other side of the country, I watched her work two jobs and completely forgo a social life to keep a roof over our heads, my mother was a single mother.  My friend is a part-timer at best but likes to play the part. that’s what bothers me.

So rich single moms with a nanny are NOT single moms?

You have a chip on your shoulder about this one person, figure out why. It will help with your mental health.[/quote]

A co-parenting Dad is not an employee like a nanny. No equivalence there whatsoever. Starting with Dad contributes financially, so cost positive; whereas nanny is paid, so a cost negative. Dad has a say and must be negotiated with and shares responsibility for decisions and consequences; nanny does what she's told and all responsibility falls on mom. Dad has a legal responsibility; nanny can quit. Co-parents have regular days of cost-free no childcare responsibility; single moms never do. The differences go on and on.

Coparenting with the child's father who just doesn't live in the same house is not the same as single mom, no father involved, with childcare.[/quote]
