My neighbor has a 3.5 yo and a 3 mo and she has a full time live in nanny and her mom comes over every afternoon (to deal with the 3.5 yo). I am serious.

you are also jealous and bitter. This is what i had, too, and this is how all women lived for generations until the Modern American Woman decided that she can do it all (other than stop being bitter)
[ Reply | Options ]OP: I admit I am jealous and bitter. She SAH and has tons of help and I work and have daycare. OF COURSE I am jealous.

Come off of it. This is NOT how "all women" lived for generations. Stop rationalizing.
[ Reply | Options ]np: most women did not live in isolation from other people raising their kids alone. they lived in more closely knit communities, often with extended family nearby (although not always). it had its downsides, but it meant no one was on their own alone w with kids all day (not that the kids would be around the house much any way of course)

Good for her and her dc. With that kind of help and support, hopefully they will all be very happy.
