[quote=Anonymous] OP, totally understand your question. My family grosses about $375k/year and we spend about $46k on a nanny, so less than the fraction you are citing. I'm not sure percentages work since there's a lower ceiling for food, car and everything else you need that a person at a given income level is likely to be comfortable with. If we felt we couldn't do a nanny we would likely look for a nanny share. Maybe that's a good choice for you if you feel like what you would have left after a nanny would not be enough? As for the snarks on this list DH and I work 60 hrs / week each (much after the kids are in bd) and so do everyone in our whole family. Get real. We need professional childcare. I won't even mention that our nanny provides a safer and more enriching environment than most of the people I know (including myself) ever could. There's a reason money was invented. [/quote]
