[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, teenagers aren’t very subtle but it is a valid question. Why do you need to be at home all day and not at work? It isn’t the 1950s. Hire a cleaner and order everything like groceries, etc. [/quote]

Because your identity and value as a human being is not, and should not, be tied to paid work. Drill that into your thick head.

She’s a dependent, just like her kids. Not a good look for an educated adult who is perfectly capable of working but would rather play tennis. [/quote]

If the things she is doing are worth paying someone for, like cooking, cleaning, driving the kids, then she is not a dependent. She is doing unpaid work. Not to mention the amount you would have to pay for all of that would likely exceed what a moderate to moderately high earner would earn.

You are sick person if you would deprive someone who does unpaid work a couple of hours of relaxation time or resources for themself. OP is doing work in the evening hours while many people are chilling in front of the TV.[/quote]

Wasn’t there are thread on here recently asking how much you should pay a live in nanny who: cooks, cleans, takes care of the kids etc etc etc? And wasn’t the general answer something like “if you can find a unicorn like that you should pay them a 6 figure income because you’re asking them to take care of your kids AND the house which are separate professions? [/quote]

Yep. 
People vastly underestimate what it takes to do all of these things and do them well. [/quote]
