[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  With my first child I had a full time housekeeper and personal chef (made five meals for DH and me once a week and we just reheated them).  I spent every moment with my child.  For the second baby, I hired a full time nanny to help me out and we worked together.  It was really helpful to take my older child to preschool and pick him up without the second baby in tow so we could talk.  Nanny is great!  She’s taught the kids Spanish and my older child how to read at 4 (she was a teacher).  I’m not pregnant with #3 and feel confident and relaxed.

Again, I am still with one or both kids all day.  I majored in music and have the time and energy to teach them both.  I know how lucky I am.   I don’t mind being judged. [/quote]

You sound like a great mom who has help but is actively engaged with kids and parenting.  I don’t think anyone would judge this[/quote]

+1. And if they do it’s only out of jealousy.  [/quote]

DP and I don't judge this set up, but I also wouldn't feel confident as a parent if I relied on that much outside help for things to run smoothly.  I can be independent to a fault, but I also need to know that if shit goes down, I can handle it.  That's what makes me a confident and relaxed parent (I have three kids).[/quote]
