If my assumption about her being 1/2 of a 2-parent household living beyond their means ("huge mortgage" certainly gives a clue), then the rest of my post stands. But it is possible that I am wrong in my assumptions

You are wrong. She is a divorced mother of two, meaning that she's likely soaking her ex to pay for the nanny.

God, you are so right, sink. Men never do the divorcing. Get a grip, would you? And, the term 'nanny' was not in quotes. In case that part escapes you, it means it was inserted by the journalist, not the mother in the piece.

Then the other nice poster's point is well made -- it is possible for a divorced woman who is getting child support to stay at home -- that is the theoretical intent and I *know* that any guy paying child support (again -- remember the words "nanny" and "huge mortgage") is, as you so accurately put it, getting soaked.

Career over kids.
