I was planning on getting one not necessarily to outsource my parenting because I would still be a stay-at-home mother, but to have a couple of extra hands around the house so I had the option of spending a few hours here and there doing more intense homeschooling or something else.
In a couple of weeks I will have 5 kids under 7 and a husband who spends half the year out of country. Having nanny help seems like a necessity for me.
I wasn't trying to insult you...I just thought that Grant might rather work LESS than work NONE so he felt like he was still doing the whole "provider" thing...which I know is important to some men.
