[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cannot comprehend being a SAHM and having a nanny.[/quote]

Sorry you’re poor I guess?[/quote]

NP.  We aren't poor but I chose to bring children into this world and their care is my responsibility not a stranger.  Maybe this poster feels the same.[/quote]

I know you’re being snarky and not interested in a good faith conversation, but I actually think it does these kids a disservice when we don’t allow them to be cared for by anybody but their parents. Yes they need attachment to a caregiver but relationships with extended family and nannies and even daycare providers can be really valuable for them as well. Plus it’s always bad for kids to be depending solely on two haggard parents to take care of them. [/quote]

Why?  My kids have never had a nanny or babysitter, just preschool and they are fine.  We also didn't have family to help.  We enjoyed being with them and found alternatives to do dates, such as lunches.  We have a very strong bond with our kids.[/quote]

You *never* used a babysitter? How can you have a date without a babysitter before your kids are too young to be left alone?

Anyway, we don't have family help or a nanny or daycare either. I see my kids' cousins who spend more time with their grandparents and they just have a stronger bond, which is so cool. I wish my kids had that, but we live too far away. We have sent our kids to my MIL's house for a few weeks to have some time with them. They all love it.

Relationships with people are just inherently valuable. There are more people to love, more things you can learn from different people, etc. [/quote]
