Is having a nanny "cheating" at parenthood?
I was doing the old Facebook scroll and came across one of those click-bait articles and it was titled "10 celebrities that need nannies to raise their kids (and 5 who surprisingly don't)". It was clear to me from the title of the article and the way they were talking about the celebs with nannies that whoever wrote the article felt like nannies were "cheating" at parenthood and are a bad thing.
I personally would totally have a nanny if we could afford one. It would be nice to have another adult to help take the kids places with, or to take them to activities while both parents are at work, or even just to be there for the hour between when the oldest two get off the bus and a parent get a home so they wouldn't have to go to the neighbor's house. I think as long as the parents are still active in raising the kids it's not "cheating".
But how does Glow feel? Is having a nanny cheating? Does it depend on how much of the raising the kids that the nanny does? And before people start with the "why does It matter how other people raise their kids?" crap it doesn't. I just want to know how others feel about it for their family.
