[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This is my issue with it. I understand the need to work, but you have to be in some way selling your child short. In order for it to be worth it monetarily, you are being paid more than you are paying for care. You provide specialized individual care to someone's kid who has money, and to do so you send your kid to cheap daycare. I understand it may be necessary, but its a shitty situation. Your baby deserves you and the care you provide as much if not more than some rich woman's. [/quote]

No, it's not selling your child short. It's a profession. People choose it for a lot of reasons. You making it sound like some dramatic servitude to a rich woman is both odd and ignorant.[/quote]

I never said anything about servitude. I stated that your own child is more deserving of your attention than the child of some privileged rich woman. They are literally buying your attention away from your child. It is most definitely selling your baby short. If you were doing something else, anything else not related to caring for children, it could make sense, but your chosen profession is caring for children. The only reason you would choose someone else's kid over your own is for the money. It's really very sad to see so many women having to make this choice and so many privileged, also working women, so flippant about what they are expecting of another woman. They would never consider allowing nanny to bring her baby because 1) it takes away from their precious offspring who will get the best no matter what the cost to someone else, and 2) they are jealous, and know deep down they wish they could do the same.
