[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]It doesn’t make you look great as a parent (that you need 3 adults for 2 kids)[/b] and it sounds bright about money. [/quote]

Frankly, the parents I know who feel proud that they “do it all themselves” have really low standards. Lots of screens, lots of convenience and processed foods for themselves and their children, lots of meltdowns and fights bc of lack of rest or exercise, no time for the frills of life like hosting and entertaining, planning outings.

I’d rather live a nicer life with some help, thanks![/quote]

I’m pretty sure everyone I know has paid help. I think where people may judge is having both a nanny AND a night nurse plus two parents. Then it seems like the mom isn’t with the children. What they won’t know is that the nanny is only with the toddler? I would hire the help I need and not go into details.

My boss had a night nurse. He hired her so he wouldn’t have to wake up to help his wife. He said the night nurse got paid for a full shift to take care of baby for an hour. [/quote]
