I pay our nanny more than I'm earning.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've become a real housewife. Terry doesn't mind me working, in fact he loves me to be independent. But I only get an allowance of $15 dollars a week, which doesn't go very far.
Do more than you are being paid to do, and you'll eventually be paid more for what you do.
When you hire a nanny, the question you ask yourself is, 'What's best for my precious child?' And do you really want someone who feels that your motive in life is to minimize the amount you spend on your child?
My wife gets all the money I make. I just get an apple and clean clothes every morning.
I'm a big advocate of a work-for-pay setup rather than an allowance that isn't attached to chores - it's a great way to impart the value of money to your children.
By the time I feed my family, I have maybe $400,000 left over.
I used to babysit a lot, and I used to be a nanny.
Myself and my two younger sisters and brother were paid for any chores, whether it was washing pop's car, sweeping the lawn or picking mangoes.
I certainly didn't have a nanny.
I don't have a nanny. I have a chef, and I have my assistant, and that's it. I do it myself. You know, those hours with your child are really important ones, even if it's just the two of you, being quiet in the car together.
