Many of you simply cannot afford a nanny. 
You are not entitled to the most elite form of childcare, any more than you are entitled to the biggest house in your neighborhood, or the most elite private school you can find.[/quote]

I'm entitled to direct my resources to any area I want, as long as someone I deem worthy is willing to accept it: see definition of norm, above.

I don't think a nanny is automatically "the most elite form of childcare," and I sincerely doubt that you, poster, have experienced or provided it.  Troll.[/quote]

The first PP is our resident troll, and you should ignore her.

However, having a nanny IS the most elite type of childcare, and it does no one any good to pretend it isn't. Having 1:1 care for your child(ren) is a luxury that the vast majority of people cannot afford. PP's point is poorly made and not entirely relevant in this thread, but it is legitimate. None of us are entitled to have a nanny, and if we can't afford to pay high enough for our FT nanny to live on then we need to consider whether we can really afford it or not ("I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth will starve in the process").[/quote]
