Paying someone to watch your children full time so that you can do your full time job is inherently classist. Who takes care of the nannies kids?

The solution to "kids are expensive" being to just pay someone lower class to do it is absurd.

> You can also have the nanny watch other kids in the neighborhood if you only have 1 kid.

You're re-inventing daycare here.



> Who takes care of the nannies kids?

Nannies take multiple children (up to 4 here in France) at the same time. So he/she can take his/her own.


Also they only need to be nannied for a couple years, so there's like 48-40 other years of their lives where they can spend the bulk of their focus on the kid they're nannying instead of their own.


The solution to "my garbage is piling up on the street" being to just pay a garbage person to remove it is absurd.


Not to mention, what is the point of having kids if you are just going to pay someone else to raise them?


Just because something is classist doesn't mean its not an economically viable option for a large group of people.


It's classist that I have to work every day and the owners of capital do not, so what?

There is nothing morally wrong with hiring someone to do labor for you.
