[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an older millennial (and DH is technically gen z).  We stopped at two kids. In many marriages, my "small law" career would support a family, but DH is the higher earner, and my income goes toward savings and the nanny's salary.  DH travels extensively during certain periods.  We have a long-term nanny, even as the kids get older, who we house in one of our rental properties.  I don't want to say she's "like family" because I like that her role is clearly defined apart from our family, but we take very good care of her, and she cares for our kids as if they were her own.  We have run a bunch of marathons between us and fit some of the other stereotypes. [/quote]

I used to have one of those Nannie’s. I will only admit it on an anonymous forum. I hated it when the day came when the kid preferred nanny to me or didn’t cry for me. I’m sure that means that I had a great nanny. It is an awful feeling for a mother.[/quote]

I'm the PP who wrote the post about our nanny. I've had those days.  I've wondered if I should quit.  I'm not sure if I made the right choice to continue working, as we no longer need my income.  I rarely take time for myself because I want to give every extra moment to my daughter (my son is too old and cool for me now). [/quote]
