Oh, come on! What tiny percentage of families can afford a nanny, a cleaning service, and all the activities and accessories of a social-ornament wife? Maybe there are just enough to make it worthwhile advertising at these big-spending ladies, and the husbands who CHOOSE to finance this kind of lifestyle.
I know lots of homeschooling families with 5-10 kids, one income. I think all our husbands would be happy if we could afford more help, so that they didn't find their wives exhausted, sweaty, and ready to drink cleaning solvents at the end of the day.
Yes, I'm exaggerating a bit (about the cleaning solvents; my poison of choice is pink wine in a box,) but I think many husbands would be happy to pay a little money (if they had any, after groceries) if it meant their wives would have a little energy left for *them*.
Safe to say! I pay for our full-time nanny, a housecleaner, and a yard guy. I'd much rather have pleasant time with my wife rather than hear moaning about her being tired.
Anyone who purchases a new car each year can do all of the above, too (simply by holding off on the car purchase).
