[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 doubt you know many parents who do it themselves. People with large household staffs around the clock don’t mix with those who do it themselves. Your view that two parents (or even one parent) can’t raise happy healthy kids further proves how out of touch you are.[/quote]
