No I am not sure, I agree these mums want other mind stimulation and feel that they need a break. But a mums role in life is to bring up and look after her children as per our previous generations. When thinking of bringing children into the world I feel it should be thought about whether you are ready to commit yourself to the full time job of parenthood. I am not meaning to dismiss any full time working mums out there, I work part time and found work to fit around my family, not the work I wanted but work nevertheless and this is to help finance the household.

Because they are still better off, your kids don't need a nanny when they at school and your carreer suffers if you take a few years out. And some people don't believe the state should provide everything for you, In the long term the kids will be better provided for and be better set for later life and not condemned to a life on benefits. Because it instills a strong worlk ethic

Work originated as a facilitation for existence. It then began adding to one's wealth, power, status and security. It became specialized and niched so that one did not do everything for self but got anchored and excelled in particular talents and abilities. That means some chores had to be got done by others who took that up as a profession or occupation.
Today work is also a means to explore and express who you are. In the pursuit of this one is able to earn more and afford to pay for some tasks to be performed by others. Having a nanny, chauffeur, cook or housemaid are some of the outcomes. This is a luxury and there is nothing wrong as it affords employment to those less qualified or skilled. It is sad only when one abdicates one's role as a parent completely and leaves children entirely to the mercy of domestic help. Becoming a parent is also a chosen vocation and has its merits, payoffs and pleasures.

Nowadays people only have children because thier expected to by their family and friends.
You know, the perfect family vision
Although most couldnt give a toss about the children and the nanny will spend more time with the children than the actual parents.
Its all about status rather than the kids
Ignorant!

Because they're too dam ignorant to realize that if only one parent worked and the other stayed at home then they wouldn't need the nanny, who more than likely just wants to get the child alone soshe can kidnap the kids and convince them their parents were killed in a subway explosion when they were actuall both working overtime to pay the nanny's check.

There are other needs which one has to pay for apart from a nanny. And so a nanny is not the only need that one has spend on, but the needs for the kids are more important.

Have you ever spent an entire day, day after day, looking after children? While there are some adults who I'm sure absolutely love it, there are others that it drives nuts.
Some people need to be able to interact with other adults, to feel productive, even if their entire paychecks are consumed by the cost of child care.
I think these people are just as deserving of making their own lifestyle choice, in the pursuit of happiness, as the people who choose to stay at home and take care of their kids.

My wife and I both work. I had my job before my wife had her job.
My income provides for my family.
My wife's income (when she first started her job) pays for her travel to work and au-pair / child care costs.
So why does she goes to work?
She goes to work because she really enjoys the work she does and gets a buzz out of doing it, she goes to work to meet people, to socialise, to contribute to society, to feel she is doing something, to get her out of the house, to give her a life, to further her mind, opportunities and horizons and to prevent her becoming a sad stay-alone house-wife turned couch-potato.
Since she has been there a while and has had a few promotions she now earns enough to pay for holidays and other family treats.
But working isn't just about money - and anybody who says it is must be very shallow and sad about the work they do.

i have wonder this many times
answer because women are getting older and they dint want to give up work but dint want to miss out on having kids so they pay some one to look after them in the week
think it would make people happy if they could put them in a box on Monday and only get them out to play with at weekends
people who dint have time to spend with there kids or cant afford them that's why they have to back to work should not have them

To get a break, challenge, different conversation, change of scenery, feel needed, do something they love etc etc. But I reckon that we all have different callings some of us are children people, some not and some in between. I personally would much rather look after my kids than go to work (YUCK). But then as I bet most of you parents out there have guessed, I've not had any kids yet .....!
