[quote=Anonymous]I will answer. I am a former WAHM mom and now SAHM with a nanny. Our nanny has been with us for years and is family to us. At this point the kids are getting older and she has made herself indispensable with driving to various events, helping with cooking and  basically helping with everything/anything that comes up. I am not going to lie, my life is smooth with her assistance and I not sure why this bothers people like OP. My nanny makes a lot of money, has health benefits/vacation. She also likes to travel with us esp now that the kids are older and she goes off on some of her own adventures. She asked a few years back if she could stay until her retirement as she doesn't want to work for another family at this point. She has been with us for so long she feels it would be hard emotionally to start again at her age. She has also seen from nanny friends that majority of parents treat their nannies as a maybe year or two job until daycare slot available or until school. This is hard on nannies who really fall in love with the kids. So I don't need a nanny but I have one because I am appreciative of all the years of service and we have found a way to create almost a new job. I am sure their are SAHM who are not involved in their kids lives but really I think is rare. Most SAHM I know are involved in school, activities, charity and also are go tos for their WM friends. Anyway, I get it that some people will judge but OP should get that I don't care. I am generally a happy person and my happiness is not dependent on judgy people. FWIW, this is the wonderful thing about turning 40, you just don't care.[/quote]
