[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You say you have no choice, but you do.  You are choosing to put more housework on the nanny.  It'll make your life significantly easier, so I understand why you are choosing to do it, but it is still a choice.[/quote]

OP here.    I have no choice in the sense that I cannot do the housework myself and cannot afford to pay for housecleaners.  I wish I could have the teacher-nanny like I had for my first child but I cannot afford her anymore and I don’t have a partner to help me around the house.  I need a housekeeper-nanny this time.  And yes, I know, my baby will not have the same advantages that my son had. [/quote]

Interesting.   Many parents pay daycare, can't afford a maid and do their chores themselves.  Is it a question of not being physically capable of taking care of an apartment or not having time?[/quote]

OP here.  Then they are clearly better than me.  I simply can't do it after work - I know how tired I was when my older child was a newborn and can't imagine it as a single mother with an older child to care for at night.

And I will pay the nanny more on the very, very few days that my older child has a school holiday and I have to work.  For sick days for either child, I will stay home.  [/quote]

You clean up as you go along.  It is ridiculous to say that you cannot take 30 minutes every night to put things away, leave kitchen clean with dishes in dishwasher.  Millions of women work and come home and do this every day of the year.  If you can't then it is simply just being lazy.[/quote]
