Which boils down to working for no income once the MB factors in taxes. While that's fine if your work is sort of a hobby to you OR if you see it as essential to keep a foot in the door of work for awhile even though you literally make nothing for it. But there are not slews of people out there who are going to [b]work for nothing at all[/b]to show for it once they net out childcare expenses seeing as how that doesn't leave anythign left over for food, [b]mortgage, bills, college savings, etc. [/b]

This one MB's situation may be great for her and her nanny - but it really is an outlier in terms of being any sort of useful reference point for MBs who work in order to earn money for their families rather than simply to have fun.[/quote]

Not that I agree with this nanny, I don't and I think its an unreasonable expectation, but I wanted to point out that paying a nanny what you earn minus your mortgage, bills, and college savings, is not the same as working for nothing at all. Those are choices you're making with your money, but its still part of your income. A lot of people, including your nanny I'm sure, would be absolutely elated to have the money to pay all their bills, and have some for emergency savings, let alone college savings. [/quote]
