I think I would completely lose my mind sitting and staring at a baby all day, no matter how attached I am. I hate being home and idle.

You're actually never really idle unless the baby is real young and sleeping a lot. I think it just depends on their ages and needs. I worked all the time when I had Bodhi and Noah. They were socializing with other kids and I didn't have but a few daycares that were terrible. I mean its always in the back of your mind on how your kid is doing while you are away. I used to count the diapers just to make sure they were being changed like they should....stuff like that.
I really have no excuse to not work, the boys are getting older. Im just choosing to wait until I feel better. The extra income is really nice to have.
It does blow my mind that after two years and no issues with the parents this woman snapped.
Im kind of starting to feel empathy for the Nanny a little. I feel more fir the families but damn, something obviously went Wayyyyy wrong and those poor kids were the victims. Just terrible.
The nanny was with the two kids while the mom was with the 3rd at swimming lessons. I can understand how having a nanny would be awesome during these times. It's no fun dragging a 6 year old and 2 year old along for swimming lessons when they aren't taking them.
i would shoot myself in the head if i didn't work. no lol.
my sister-in-law is not allowed to work. my bro-in-law makes enough that she doesn't have to, but she admits that it drives her crazy. she feels like she's not a part of their community, feels out of place at social gatherings, feels alienated. i don't know how she does it. fuck that noise.
and just to clear it up, its not because of the kids. i couldn't stay at home and not work. i did that when i was laid off for 10 months, and my life was crazy and chaotic bc of it. i think its the silence, if that makes sense. i have to be busy, doing something, bc sitting there makes me think too much and thats never good with me.
My mom was a stay at home mom so it just seems normal to me but from my own personal experience in the past, I had to work so staying home was never an option.
I enjoy working but I also enjoy not working.
I'd love to stay home. Until I am, then I want to work. Staying home is depressing.
This stay at home argument is kinda invalid for this thread though isn't it? She did stay home with her kids, she just had help.
Nah, that's the same. There are a lot of women who want to be lawyers, doctors, etc. who work their asses off to be financially secure and love what they do. You can't doctor from home. It's insulting to women who have achieved the very rare coveted high positions as CEOs in this country to insinuate that because they're a woman, they should just count their financial blessings and get off on being home, being mommy all day.
I mean, why not say that about men? Fuck it! Mom goes to lawyering and dad stays home! But that would be 'backward'.
he won't let her. i think its bc of his first marriage. she had a great career and it included lots of happy hours and meeting people, and her lifestyle and his were so different, that they were just shadows to each other at home and eventually divorced.
he won't let her. i think he's scared the same thing is going to happen again. she's tried talking to him about it. she keeps bringing it up. she brought it up a couple of times the last time we went to visit them. oh and get this - he now WORKS FROM HOME. i'm sorry, i love marty very much, but being together 24/7 would be crazy. we both need our freedom.
i feel bad for her. he "jokingly" said that he would divorce her if she started working again.
I had a house hubby for about a year. It was great! I loved it! He hated it. He got depressed. Kids were independent at the time.
Now, if he were a stay at home dad, with 3 little ones, and we could afford a nanny, you betcha, he would have a nanny.
I just wanna know why this nanny snapped. Have we seen anything about a tox screen?
If this woman was a pediatrician, I understand even more why she would want to eventually go back to work. You don't work that hard towards something that you specialize in that means a lot to you and then go aw fuck it I'd rather push a stroller around central park.
