[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a or b is best for parents and kids so best for overall family mental health/happiness.[/quote] Agree. The other two might meet the needs of the adults (might) but with kids involved can create a lot of deficits. Nannies and housekeepers are wonderful but do not actually replace parents. No child prefers a nanny and housekeeper to parents. Or if they do, that parent has broken something incredibly valuable. And this increases as kids get older. They need less of your total time but the kind of time they need cannot be performed by a nanny— they need parental love, support, guidance. There is no substitute. Choosing not to have children is a valid, good choice. You don’t have to have kids.[/quote] This is BS. C is an ideal scenario. Housekeeping can absolutely be outsourced without any negative impact to kids.[/quote]
