[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ultimately I ended up not being furloughed.  But I mentioned the possibility to our nanny, and believe me, if I had to lose $1500/month, I would definitely have to furlough the nanny the days I am furloughed (I am guessing once per week or once every 2 weeks).  [b]Her pay cut would be a fraction of what we'd be losing[/b] - like a big chunk of our mortgage payment.  It would be catastrophic.  I totally understand the plight of others being furloughed without large savings.[/quote]

I would struggle to pay my bills if I lost 2-4 days of work per month. The total amount of money she'd be out may be less, but she almost certainly has a lower cost of living than you do too. OP, I was on your side all the way up until this statement right here, but now I think you come across kind of snobby.

Happy you were not furloughed, however, for everyone's sake.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but you just don't know us - nanny and I and our situation.  If you did you would feel differently.  And unlike a lot of snotty moms on here, we aren't rich.  We dont have $200K HHI.  We ate rice and beans tonite.   [/quote]

I didn't say you WERE snobby, I said that statement made you SOUND snobby. And again, I'm happy for everyone's sake that you weren't furloughed. [/quote]
