[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since when is raising a child, "not working"? Hope you don't tell the nanny, she's "not working."[/quote] You don't need a graduate degree to raise a child.[/quote] I have two graduate degrees and I retired at the ripe old age of 40 to stay at home. Having saved every single penny of my earnings, I was in a good position to do that + my DH is in a secure and well paying job. No debts, low mortgage and pension and savings, fully funded college and tons of insurance means that I can rest easy. I think my graduate degree actually enabled me to be a SAHM with financial security, unlike a nanny. Another thing - there is a huge difference in the interaction any child will have with a very educated mom vs. a poorly educated child care provider. We all want to give our children the best advantage in life. In our family's case - I was the best advantage. EXACTLY. You've nailed it. [/quote][/quote]
