[@KNYD]

@@liad0x Well at least one of the mothers said they wanted the nanny and maid to be ugly so that their "love doesn't have to get distracted once". The boss of the nanny and butler agency also said " many mothers, they prefer not too beautiful nannies." So based on that they are not single parents. Some of them also speak of their husbands.

[@liad0x]

@@KNYD that comment by one of the women more sounded like possible boyfriend to me, not really a husband. For example like i want to be the prettiest in this house, if i ever bring a man into this house he shouldnt be distracted. But if she meant her husband then yikes!!! I mean they clearly have a horrible relationship if she gets insecure by a not ugly nanny so it would make sense for them to be used to old sexist gender roles.

45:00. They pay so much $$ for every detail, but mother casually, repeatedly uses God's name in vain right in front of her children. (Not bashing her, they seem like a lovely family, but just pointing out an observation that what all counts as fine details is in the eye of the beholder. - but it is something a child with good upbringing should know not to do, as it is not considered appropriate in lots of settings.) Thinking there should be , for the right families, a real demand for nannies that also have children utilize religious principles in everyday life (processing forgiveness, challenges, gratitude, as well as praying, and just generally raising therm to live the faith in all the little ways that count in everyday life. For the right family, such qualities in a nanny would be highly desirable. and even required.

I worked at a expensive daycare that many wealthy families would send their children to for socialization. I basically raised these children for five hours everyday for three years. Most had no relationship with their parents they were emotionally neglected and out of control. I even raised a few from as early as 14 months old all the way until they were 3. After a while parents started coming to me and asking what my tricks were as their children started to become happier and more behaved, it looked like I had punched them in the gut when all I said was I gave them my time and attention. I had one little girl who told me she wished I was her mommy because I played dolls with her and gave her hugs. I left that job with trauma from seeing how terrible these kids lives truly were.

I grew up with both my parents, no nunnies and still emotional bonding didn't exist. My father was a computer engineer always working, my mother was a stay-at-home mom (she didn't work) but she had her own life, she would drop us at school and then go do whatever, visit her friends or sisters. After school I went home with school bus, most of the time I stayed at home alone watching tv, my brothers were in school, we studied at different schedules, me in the morning, them at noon. We are not rich but never went hungry, maybe middle class / working class. Just to say that even families who are not rich still fail to bond.

I worked at an “independent summer camp” (ie camp for wealthy kids) & the stories of so many of the kids were heartbreaking. There was the 5 yr old from Korea who was sent to camp for weeks to be immersed in the language because his family were moving to America - no one spoke his language at camp so he spent most of his time in frustrated tears & learned all the swear words other kids could teach him. Then there were the brother & sister who had come straight from boarding school to camp for 10 weeks & had not even met their new stepmother. They would go home for a couple of short holidays per year & that’s it. Then there was a young girl, Hannah, who had an anxiety attack because she had volunteered to do a swimming leg for a camp competition & couldn’t do it when the time came, because of her anxiety. And she had tonsillitis & was apparently told that she had to take her medication every day or she could die 😳 She was such a sweet girl & so anxious about achieving & doing everything well that she was tied up in knots of anxiety...at 8 years old. I’ve thought about her a lot over the last couple of decades & hope she has learned to conquer her anxiety.

She tells my mom, who she affectionately calls Lally. "Lally anything you need, all you have to do is ask." God bless that child.

[@evelynzlon9492]

It's pointless to immigrate from Jamaica to the US. Most especially if you're a black female. Statistically, black American women have the highest average levels of the stress hormone cortisol of any demographic group in the world. Half-starved black African women, even, have more serene cortisol levels. America is fundamentally a rung down from Africa. It's where blacks who lacked even the power to fend off slave traders ended up. Nor could these black Americans be choosy about WHERE they were enslaved, because the journey across the Atlantic Ocean was pure torture and blacks are also a minority in America. In the big scheme of things, civil rights equal employment/fair housing laws are a joke. I have a B.A. in Economics so I can put them into perspective. These laws succeeded at rehashing the slave system by another name. Especially since blacks are also a minority in America.

[@evelynzlon9492]

There are two main reasons why black American females are under so much chronic stress. One, since the 1960's, most high-income blacks have migrated out of predominantly black neighborhoods into the suburbs. These defectors are overwhelmingly male as men of all races have an income advantage over females, rendering black females largely desolate. By the same stroke, the heightened market competition for white-owned homes automatically triggers supply and demand pricing adjustments. It further elevates the values of white homes and depletes black housing values. Black females are less likely to earn enough money to fill this imploding real estate money pit. So on the whole, civil rights laws are actually disadvantageous to black females in particular. Plus in one of his speeches, Martin Luther King decreed that blacks' love for our enemies should be primarily impersonal and "spiritual" in nature, as opposed to emotional or erotic. That means the US government and general population may scrutinize and regulate your deeply personal intimate desires and relationships BEFORE YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS EVEN KICK IN. That is of course a profound violation which defeats the purpose of said rights. I myself am an ostensibly all-black female with a white father which makes this policy particularly discomfiting. Nor am I privileged, which renders me financially susceptible to slave policies.

[@evelynzlon9492]

Martin Luther King is venerated in America...by our racist government. His barbaric racist motives were strategically understated so as to gloss over them while promulgating the tall tale of his heroism. All that glitters is not gold. Look before you leap. And READ THE FINE PRINT.

[@evelynzlon9492]

And there are some things money can't buy. England is equally to blame for America's "new racism". All black American churches, especially Southern ones, were founded by antebellum slaveholders. The British contributed their suavity and diplomatic skill to help these black preachers deceive their parishioners. Dr. King was a freelance puppet activist who sold his services to the highest bidder. It really doesn't matter whether his masters were of American or British origin. I really hope a large army invades England and sends some white soldiers to pry Kate Middleton's legs open for some ugly, low-caste black guys. Just sayin'.

I was a nanny for a few years. Although I love the kids I felt awkward when they said I was "family", but I just assumed that I was just taking the word too literally. Until the last time they left their 4 kids and two dogs for 6 days in my house (because the parents were going on a business trip) and assumed I was doing them a favor because I love them and we were "family". They ended up "tipping me out of the goodness of their heart" (gave me 1/3 of what I deserved) and when I nicely tried to clear the "misunderstanding" the dad literally said that the kids take care of themselves LOL and that I really didn't need to do much (BEAR IN MIND: they're homeschooled, not allowed to play videogames nor watch TV). So yes, I cried out of frustration for a few days and had to pray hard to let any resentment go.

I nannied with a special service to support myself while I lived in Hawaii. I got to play at the resorts like 4 Seasons and such. I actually was not asked back by one family early on because I was "too pretty". I was absolutely shocked. I am quite average but I was surfing every day so I was quite in shape. I didn't even wear make-up, dressed in plain baggy surf clothes. After that my boss suggested I 'ugly myself' so I would do an ugly hairstyle, I went to a thrift store and bought ugly tacky clothes, etc. I was in the top 5 nannies for the service and to give an idea of the $$$, I comfortably supported myself working 4 days a week!!! They provide all food, tip in the hundreds when the kids love you, and especially when they came home late drunk haha. I just felt so bad for the kids. Many were like void little dolls, not even making eye contact until a few days when they realized I actually cared and then they just transform into their amazing selves, they soak up the attention like they have never been really seen before. Often the children would hang on to me and cry their last day, especially after the week or longer trips. Many would beg their parents to hire me. It was so sad. Especially because with the insecure moms it makes them really turn on you fast. It is a delicate balance of caring for the kids but not giving them so much that the parents have to fire you because they have to be #1. With older kids I always went all out because they have already been through this and know to say nothing so I wouldn't get fired. Dealing with wealthy people is basically swimming in a mine field where everything is perfect on top where things can be seen, but underneath is a plethora of unspoken rules, scandal, and so much crap you would never even believe it unless you see it! I am thankful for my simple life everyday after experiencing that!!! *edit: my simple life

[@megan2349]

What a perfect way to put it. "swimming in a mine field where everything is perfect on top where things can be seen, but underneath is a plethora of unspoken rules, scandal......" 100%. I am with a family who is "wealthy" by normal standards. Not ultra rich like these people. Everything looks great from the outside with children who are well clothed in trendy names and play all the rich kid sports like lacrosse and tennis, and go to the private school even though they live in the top school district in the state. Their house from the outside is very large and the gardeners do a nice job keeping up the curb appeal. But they are absolutely a hot mess of forgetting appts and sending me late to things regularly and rushing the kids from one activity to the next just to have everyone else deal with them, and have them fall exhausted into bed each night at 10pm to get up at 6am and do it all again. The kids don't even shut the drawers of their dressers after getting clothing much less clean up after themselves. But on the surface, Mom and Dad are doctors. The kids do every sport known to man. They have two nannies, myself and another lovely older woman. They belong to the country club. They have playdates daily. It's perfect right????

"I DO NOT CLEAN: bodily fluids or excrement from anything living or deceased, or what it came from. It will be left where it lies. I do not offer an add-on fee/service for any hazardous materials." means *no Fifi poo,* period! No means no! Lol 😂 I leave it right there where it lies. Golf rules 😂).

The man that bought a house for their nanny was fair and generous, giving back to someone so important in their lives. On the other hand, that other lady could surely afford paying a holiday for the nanny to see her children or bring them over for a visit at least once a year -I guess there are enough guestrooms in the castle? I have a workaholic neighbour that has enough money to afford a live-in nanny for her two children and a maid. However, she's had 3 different nannies and a dozen different maids in the last 3 years. I think the reason is because she sees them as replaceable objects at her service, not as people with their own problems, needs, dreams, etc. They play such a vital role, they are part of the family! I think showing an interest in them as human beings and being generous says A LOT of who you are. Little details like taking them out to a nice restaurant in their birthday is nothing for a rich person but means a lot to the nanny, makes her feel special, appreciated and grateful. Wish more people could see it this way, is a win-win situation for everybody.

Agree. No matter the difference in status, you should always treat people with respect and consideration.

I went to a very "posh" boarding high school in Europe. I was not "posh" just lucky that my father's company paid because of remote location of work. (Africa). It was enlightening. Some kids had been sent for convenience, some just because of wealth, some to be kept away from "problems" (family or political) but just a mish mash of young kids away from home. How quickly you become family...and it was not a bad thing. From all corners of the earth. I learned quickly not to envy wealth. Some were old money and some nouveau riche. The great equalizer was we were all young and away from home. Truly we were the motley odds. I came out knowing I was lucky to have a "normal" family with extended family that were just good ordinary people who were never too busy to be thrilled for visits and embrace with big hugs.

[@mabuhayPinay]

I really appreciate your comment. You came out of the experience with appreciation for your normal and extended family; in other words, relationships w people who care and love you (& vice-versa) are important to you. You said wealth is not to be envied -- I agree on that. Having lots of money puts you in a position of power. Unfortunately, having more translates to being better (than everybody) - which is false. If you are lucky enough NOT to fall for this, then you can use this power to help others, such as allowing your Filipina nanny to return to her home country every several months to visit her own children; hugging your kids tightly and every so often, doing the nightly ritual and tucking them in bed; asking your chauffeur what his family needs the most and delivering it. The consequences of these acts will return to you a thousand-fold because then, you would gain a new appreciation for what your staffers do & sacrifice for your family and they in turn will want to do a better job. And more will be gained by you, if you put some effort and do the messy work of caring for your children every once in a while -- you can be present to them, you can get to know them, you can see them in all their glorious and miserable traits - and at the end of the day, they are hugged and know that they are accepted.

I think parents want the best for their kids even if that means sacrificing a bond with their child, but they don’t understand how much of an impact it has on a child.

If your child has specific dietary restrictions and you're bringing in someone who knows nothing about them to prepare their food, it's absolutely ridiculous to expect them to just KNOW all the specific tiny details - especially when it's a diet that's alternative to the mainstream. The issues could have been avoided if she just wrote down or explained clear instructions on what is and isn't allowed and what serving sizes to prepare.

My workplace caters to all kinds of diets, including vegan options.. There's many tasty vegan foods so even if she wanted her kids to be vegan she can still allow them desserts and not make them hate vegan food (I think it's kind of obvious they won't be vegan if they had a choice 😂

[@HearturMind]

I have a relative who is raising vegan children. Her third child was a premie who was fed a special non vegan formula and diet for her first two years. That child three years younger is bigger than the five year old and the two year old was born two months premature and VERY tiny baby. The five year old is bearly talking, very resentful and always hungry. She can clearly see she is being treated unfairly. None of us can understand how the parents can not see this. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the cheats they get at parties I think the older ones would not be well at all as sick and stunted as they seem as it is. Recently, a few vegan parents who starved their children to death were put in prison for life. So finally the precedent has been set. Depriving ones self as an adult of essential nutrients is one thing but starving children is quite another.

I’m not a parent yet, but one day I may decide to try to be a daddy. Waking my child up in the morning, driving them to school, picking them up, listening to them about their day, and helping them with their homework would be the greatest parts of my day and life. I want to be there on the beautiful days, the good days, the bad days, and the ugly days. All of those experiences are what it means to truly be a dad. Those times when I’ll wake up in the middle of the night to comfort them when they are having a nightmare and are crying. The times when I would normally rest but instead take up my child’s hobbies and play with them. To the day I’ll be crying watching them go off to college and one day watching them get married. Even as a prospective dad I can’t imagine missing any of it. One day we’re all gonna be on our death bed and leave our loved ones behind. It doesn’t matter if we were rich or powerful. What matters is love. If I have kids and the day comes that I pass I want them to remember me, their dad, not by the material goods or money I gave them, but by the constant love, support, and presence I showed them. Peace and love to all the parents and prospective parents out there 💙🤙.

I spent my early years being in the care of a live in nanny, although it was nothing near as posh as professionally trained nannys. She was absolutely lovely. After I was born (third child) my mom had to work and had little time to look after me, thus the idea of a nanny was brought up. It was fantastic. I had two moms essentially. I think that there is a healthy balance to it though, if all the important milestones are left to the nanny to take care of, there will naturally be distancing between parent and child. I’m glad that while my mom was busy, she specifically and intentionally spent time with me. Through this I’ve always understood my mom was busy and respected that and I’ve never felt neglected. So in summary I will say that having a nanny can be a very helpful and beneficial thing if it is done in the right balance. I still speak with and love my nanny today, 19 years later.

The notion of paid staff being "like family" reminded me of an elderly patient my mother assisted some years back. This woman had spent decades caring for this family, their children, their home, and they told her she was family. She believed them. Now an old woman, she became ill and had to be hospitalized for a couple of months. When it was time for her to be released, they didn't want her back -- she had no home to go to. I guess her membership in their family hit its expiration date. My mother, who was part of discharge planning for the hospital, had to tell this woman that she couldn't go back to what she considered her home. I don't remember where she wound up being placed but just remember thinking how much of a gut punch it must have been for someone who actually believed her rich employers when they said she was family.

Also did you notice the girls totally ignored what their mother was saying giving the impression they had heard their mom say all this so often, probably to other employees-where is their last nanny?-they just shut their mother out. All they cared about was getting that pasta down like it was going to be taken away at any moment. All vegan mean mom had to say was, give them less, add a nice salad, and it’s a great meal.
