[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-truly nothing wrong w/you having posted -just oversharing. The guy was a jerk and tagging your DH was an ass move as he was trying to shame choices you as a couple obviously made. I would be fine to say nope and give ZERO reason or help out because I choose to be kind.

One of my best times as a parent was when I stopped working full time for nearly 6 months but kept my full time nanny. My DH & I made sacrifices to be able to afford this reset (afterwards I started my own business.) I felt no reason to hide the luxury of free time.[/quote]

[b]So one of your best times as a *parent* was...having no job and a nanny?[/b]  :roll: Love to know what your "business" is.[/quote]

This was priceless.  [/quote]

This was me. Having a full time nanny and a 4 month hiatus from working doesn't make me not a parent - just someone who has hired assistance for 40 hours a week. And as I made clear-this 4 month period was sandwiched between a (more than) full time job and the start of my own business. You don't imagine that I just woke up after 4 months and decided hmmmm I'm gonna open a business today??? I used those days to first do nothing then consider options and weigh opportunities. Keeping my nanny on during that time was worth it to both me & DH. Sure I could have fired her but I took
that free time for 40 wonderful hours a week for 4 solid months and loved every minute of it. And my parent license was never revoked- nor was my DHs for the 50 hours a week he wasn't around the kids either. Geeeezzzzz[/quote]
