[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]

OP here. Most people have childcare because they work.

I don’t know about others but my child doesn’t get screen time almost at all. Maybe 1-2 times a week. He’s never watched videos on the phone or an iPad.

My son is well behaved but he requires a lot of attention because he is very active. His nanny takes him to various activities and is on the floor playing with him.

We all cook him very healthy foods. He doesn’t eat junk food or ultra processed foods very much. [/quote]
