It seems there are many different ways one can choose to live life. My parents paid for my dance lessons when we were considered a low-income family, I took care of myself and an infant during the day at the age of 14 (though my parents were still my parents and they did set limits and boundaries), and know of many women from wealthier (upper-middle class onwards) families in the US (whether or not they work) that also employ nannies. I don’t think it’s a good idea to make assumptions about others. Just thought I’d throw this out there, even though it’s an older topic posting.
