[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Places I have not stepped foot in months -- a grocery store, a gas station or a dry cleaners. All the things that I need from these places are taking care of by someone else, without my ever even really thinking about them. It's like food is in the pantry and gas is in the tank and clean clothes are in my closet just magically without my ever having to think about it. But I do appreciate it greatly. [/quote]

That just sounds like the life of a child to me.[/quote]

What I'm paying for is my time. I work very hard and earn and good salary, so I am fortunate to be able to pay someone to do all of that. Then when I am home, I am able to spend my time with my family instead of running around crazy doing errands I don't enjoy. What is childish about that?  [/quote]

NP.  I won't say childish, but I'd say it would make someone fall out of touch with things.  I've never heard of hiring a gas pumper, for instance.[/quote]

Pretty sure that what PP means is that she has somebody to run errands for her, get groceries, take in the dry cleaning in and do the laundry.  While out and about, they fill up the gas tank.   We have the exact same setup - I truly appreciate not having to do any laundry or hurry to get my dry cleaning it if I want to get an outfit ready - it is normally already done.  Somebody to get the oil changed, get the car inspected, get the car washed, and spend a half our waiting for all of these things to happen.  She makes returns for us if we need to take something back, she supervises the work if something is going on in the house, pretty much everything except cooking which we enjoy.   It is something I am extremely grateful for because it frees up a ton of time to do the things that we really want to do and eliminates a lot of discussions and bargaining about who is going to take care of this task or that one.

Our person is our nanny who has taken on more of these tasks since our kids have gotten older and don't require much, if any, supervision.  She has a job here as long as she wants it.
