[quote=Anonymous]No but I judge people who judge mothers with outside help!  I get so tired of the (generally) older people who do the, “I raised my kids without help!”  I always want to go, “well?  Did you raise them well without any help?”  Because I usually know their kids (now adults) and they didn’t turn out that great.

I even had to take issue with my mother who had three kids all five years apart when I have twins and a child just two years older.  Big difference, Mom!

Yes, I have a wonderful full time nanny and a cleaning team who come in twice a week.  Our nanny was a preschool teacher and does amazing crafts with my kids as well as helped them plant a garden.  Nanny sings beautifully and is teaching my older child music.  These are skills I simply don’t have.  I love cooking and baking and do it with my kids while nanny makes sure they don’t kill each other and does their laundry and clean up.  As another poster pointed out, we work together.

And I get a real lunch hour to go to the gym or for a run alone.

I do care that other mothers judge me because I think they aren’t being honest with themselves.
