[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you need extra help around the clock, then you need the help. Since you can afford it, better to pay for it and have it then for your kids to be neglected or poorly cared for.

But don’t talk about it at work. It doesn’t make you look great as a parent (that you need 3 adults for 2 kids) and it sounds bright about money. [/quote]

Yes, I would avoid talking about it at work. It sounds like she would have 4 adults caring for 2 children.

I’m from nyc and had a very demanding job. It was common for working moms to have 2 nannies since one nanny couldn’t cover all the hours. I remember being at a women’s conference and a super successful woman went on about how important it was to have a good nanny and the nanny was her most important person. She actually said she had 3 nannies. I didn’t envy her at all. I remember making a mental note that is not what I wanted when I had kids one day.

I had a neighbor who had multiple kids and had 6 nannies. She had 2 Nannie’s working at a time. Again, I wondered why they even had kids to completely outsource out parenting.

Op, it is fine to pay for help but I wouldn’t broadcast it. [/quote]
