Well, that's precisely why a lot of people aren't interested in home providers who have children in the home. I'm not interested in a SAHM who wants to charge premium rates so my kid can tag along while she runs errands and cares for her own kids. I'm interested in a professional, and professional home daycare operators I've met limit car trips to pre-approved field trips.

Nothing is uglier than a professional, working mother making life more difficult for another mother.

Seriously people . . . those of you who refuse to use providers (nannies, in home providers, preschools that allow the children of providers to attend) that have young children, what do you think happens to their children?  If you pay your nanny a fair market rate, just who do you think she is going to be able to pay to watch her own children if you aren't willing to accommodate?

I just don't understand how working moms can be so heartless and clueless.  [/quote]

I'm the one who called you unprofessional. I'm a single mother, working at a daycare center and I pay another child care center for my child to attend. [/quote]

So you pay your whole salary toward another daycare? Or your kid goes somewhere subpar?[/quote]

It is not my whole salary, and my child goes to a good child care center. It's obvious you are in this business for the wrong reason. You are in it for convenience and not for the love of children.[/quote]

I'm not in the business...I'm a lawyer. I just think it's really sad that you work all day just to pay to send your kid somewhere else. You can't possibly be making more than a tiny bit over what your tuition to the other daycare is. Seems like a waste of your time and money and sad for your kid to be away from you all day when there's no real financial gain for the family.[/quote]

It is no different than you being away from your child all day, in the office. We are both (I assume) doing something we both love and providing for our family at the same time. Sure, my paycheck isn't close to yours but if you open your mind, you will realize we just may have something in common.[/quote]

I am guessing that the lawyer PP currently stays at home, after running HER numbers and realizing that between the misery of what a legal job entails, what childcare/nanny costa are, and how much her DH brings in,  it didn't make sense to keep working.

She had qualms, though, and trying to justify her choices, so hence her mildly obnoxious post to you.

Lawyer PP, amirite?[/quote]
