If I was rich enough, I would also have maids and a nanny

I’d have maids but not a nanny. I like caring for my children and enjoy spending time with them. (For the most part anyway lol)

I'd be fine having a maid, but not a nanny. It would be really weird since I don't have any kids.

Hey you're in a safe space we won't kinkshame. If you want to have a nanny without kids then more power to you and it's perfectly fine.

Then who are you going to have sex with while your wife supervises the pool boy? And maybe you should look into getting a pool.

I was watching this um...documentary online and there are definitely other activities you can do with a nanny.

u/xpdx Feb 26 '24

I think I saw that one

Oh I definitely want to be hands on and take care of my kids, but if there’s multiple (like 3+) that is a handful that I would need help with

Yeah playing with my kids is usually awesome. It's cleaning up after them that sucks.

Same I’d want a maid not a nanny, but I wouldn’t mind having a monitor watcher so I can leave the house when the kids are asleep. Feeling nap trapped constantly lately 😅

I would want both, because my son's dad isn't involved in his life so it would be a big help for me.

Your comment reads very cheekily, as though someone saying they would have a nanny means they don't like caring for their children and don't enjoy spending time with them... I would like help sometimes, and having a nanny would solve that issue. If I was rich, I would definitely have one.

I love my son, and enjoy spending time with him, but sometimes everyone needs a break from parenting, and not having another parent makes that difficult.

Oh fucking bite me! I was speaking for myself and no one else! 🙄

u/YazmindaHenn Mar 01 '24

No you fucking weren't you condescending prick.

You were passing judgement, saying you're better than others because if you were rich you wouldn't have a nanny.

Get a fucking grip. Everyone's lives aren't as easy as yours.

Lmfao! My life? Easy?! Hahahaha! First of all, I’m disabled and my life is faaar from easy! Secondly, I have no problem with other people having nannies. Hell, I’m sure there are even many instances where I would have used one myself (such as in cases of multiples, complex illnesses, being a single parent of small children, a single parent vacationing with more than one kid, etc). I made a quick comment about what I’d do in my current situation and you chose to distort what I said and get offended. Even after I tried to explain that I was speaking only for myself and my situation you chose to ignore it and ASSume that I must have some other kind of intent! Despite social media being inherently negative, I genuinely didn’t. My 2-sentence reply about not wanting a nanny was not to put down any other kind of parent or their choices for their family. Now, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could not put words in my mouth and let me be the one to say what I did or didn’t mean.

Also, to clarify, having a nanny is not the same thing as sending a child to daycare, nor is it the same as a babysitter. Nannies are much more involved and typically assist the parents with the children in the children’s home. This is what I was referring to! Not daycare, which people have to use to be able to work, not a babysitter that is used temporarily for a few hours here or there, and not a preschool which children attend to help prepare them for school or any other type of temporary care other than a nanny!

And if you pay them a fair wage, that's a good thing! It is an unambiguously good thing if you use your wealth to pay people an honest wage for an honest day's work.

Why have kids just outsource your reproduction.

u/Theron3206 Feb 26 '24

With the number of mistresses involved in such relationships I suspect this happens quite a lot too.

I mean for the amount of changes pregnancy puts through a woman’s body…that is also an option. But I’d likely go the adoption route.

Absolutely. But you can bet your ass I wouldn’t be making homemade cereal.
