[quote=Anonymous]Pp, you are obviously thoughtful and I believe we have faced many of the same challenges. By lifestyle changes, I mean things like eliminating the need for private school by moving. That adds up to about $70k per year for my two kids. In any event, I understand and respect your choices. But, I do think that I can do a better job at teaching my preschool aged kids given my education level and language ability. I doubt my former nanny from when my daughter was an infant would contradict that, as English was her second language and much less strong than her first. This is why many parents get educated caregivers for their kids. This does not apply to infants. You may change your mind about who best can care for your child once he or she is older, and I trust you will decide what is best at that point. You may not. Like you said, many kids succeed who have others care for them. All I am saying is that if you wanted to take care of your kid instead of working, you could probably do it quite well with some practice and effort. Again, I just want to stop hearing from people that they are not the right person for the job when they are obviously smart, capable and engaged parents. [/quote]
