[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She probably had a nanny before.   My nanny did all the laundry and took kids to activities but quit at the start of the pandemic.[/quote]

My takeaway has been that the real hero of the WOHMuniverse was the nanny.  [b]All the talk about the working mom doing a "real job" and doing every thing a SAHM does was just a load of BS[/b].  Now without the nanny/School/Childcare...the whole house of cards is crashing down.  And all of the husbands seem to be good for nothing. Why is that?  [/quote]

All that talk was in your head.

It takes a village to raise a child. [b]Nannies/daycares/baby sitters/housekeepers/cleaning ladies/tutors are essential.[/b] Every reasonable person admits this. If you are hanging out with crazies who do not, that is on you.

So you are not doing the work of a SAHM? And certainly not raising your kids yourself?  And are you looking at these  providers as WOHMs or you are the only WOHM and these are just "providers".  LOL! Without the nannies, baby sitters, nannies, cleaning ladies, tutors and other low paid WOHMs doing the heavy lifting of raising children for the absentee moms, the wonderful marriages and schooling of the children is falling apart.

Yes, it takes a village to rise a child. [b]But the low paid childcare provider was never seen as a working woman or a WOHM by the WOHMs on DCUM who profess to be superwomen.[/b].  Your cleaning lady is a WOHM too and she also has a family.  She cannot outsource her childcare and housework to another woman.

Nice try.

I am actually a SAHM. DH and I do the cleaning, laundry, cooking, teaching, etc. We pay for swim and music lessons, and that's about it. I am just tired of this fabricated fight between SAHM and WOHM. There is absolutely nothing wrong with working and paying for assistance with care for your children.

Providers are WOHM. And the bolded is in your head. Many are not low paid especially in this area. [b]Many nannies make $20 plus  an hour.[/b] My aunt who is a specials needs teacher with 10 years worth of experience makes $28 an hour. She has a Masters Degree in education. Social workers make a similar wage

Lol ok, you support your family on $40,000 a year in this area. And most nannies don’t get healthcare. Ridiculous response. [/quote]

I don't, but I know families with two 40K salaries. And they do just fine. My parents did(two ~40K salaries), and they had a 3 bedroom apartment in montgomery county(mom got an RN and makes much more now with overtime). [/quote]
