[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Know a ivy-educated doctor with 4 going on 5 whose kids are always put-together, mom looks put together (not some fitness model, but slender and dresses fine), kids are clearly well-cared for and incredibly sweet. No nanny/local family but they manage. Great family.

I actually know several mom's with 4+ kids. Very common in my area. Many well-educated parents, a few that seem to be a little overwhelmed, but most seem to manage their households just fine.[/quote]

I know a couple of people like this.  I don’t get it.  Why wouldn’t you hire a nanny in this situation?  [/quote]

I would not as I'd want to take care of my own kids.  Why have them to pawn them off on someone else if you are SAH (if you are working, need to work its different but if you are running errands or exercising... no). I'd have a much bigger house, nicer cars and a housekeeper twice a week.[/quote]

The people I know are working.  Two physicians.  Kids in daycare.  No housekeeper.  What’s the point of this?  It’s like they are trying to prove something.  [/quote]

How is this even possible?  Doctors don't get sick days.  And most work very long hours that start before daycare even opens.  We know many 2-physician families, and they all have nannies, even after the kids start elementary school. [/quote]
