Weekly housecleaning help (I know there are women here who have that)
and weekly lawn service (I know there are people here who have that)
and someone to take and pick up the kids from school (that is a common
thing these days, maybe grandma?). If I had used different words than
nanny and housekeeper you would have been able to look around and find
many couples around you (all of RFC) who do the same thing. The
words nanny, housekeeper, lawn care are the words used in my community
but apparently are trigger words for some folks here. Posh lifestyle?
Not hardly.
