[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an honest to god question regarding this phenomenon.

Why do people have children and then pay others to literally raise their children 24 hours a day 7 days a week? Its something I haven't been able to wrap my head around. I'm not trying to be snarky or looking for snarky answers I just don't understand it. [/quote]
Because not everyone is interested in working themselves to the bone or adding as much stress to their life as possible for the dubious benefit of your approval.[/quote]

Yup! We do not have a nanny- but I agree with this. If we could afford it, we would have tons of help! No point in stressing myself out just so I can feel like I am earning the 'parenting' merit badge.[/quote]

You guys do understand there is a difference between having "help" and having someone else do the job completely. Its not help if you've had no hand in doing it. Hiring someone to take the pressure off you and give you some freedom, I get. Hiring someone to be there 24/7 and basically having a visitation with your kid every week or so, goes far beyond "not stressing yourself out". You're not parenting at that point, and the decision to do that is not at all in the best interest of your child. Its about you. Completely about you. And its sad. (I mean "you" in a general sense, not directly to you PP) [/quote]
