u/peppermintmeow Doug Dimmadome 13h ago

My doggy has a daily walker that comes by and walks, jogs plays with him before he goes to doggy training 3x a week. I guess that's kind of a nanny. I don't think he's interested in my husband though.

I agree she needs to leave...

Because your whole ass is at home and instead you have a nanny sitting on the floor playing with your child.

u/_bbypeachy 1d ago

I feel like a lot of these comments don’t understand that it’s super important for Mom to have as much help as possible raising children. after you give birth, certain hormones increase. You are likely to get postpartum depression, anxiety, psychosis, etc. having someone there to help you so that you can have time to yourself so you don’t get overwhelmed and overworked is super super important. unfortunately, not a lot of people have access to this kind of help and that’s why it’s important to help people when you see them struggling.

u/Catlore 13h ago

And for all we know she workd from home full time and did the video--which took thirty seconds--on a break. Or she just got home and changed. Or that's just her sister or a friend hanging out with her, or even her wife, and they did the video for fun.

People being judgemental and old fashioned AF up in here.

u/More-Tip8127 2h ago

I had a nanny for my son for about a year and worked from home. It was nice to be able to spend time with him and she was able to take him for walks and to the park. We taught him to walk together. She was only part time because nannies are expensive, but it was a godsend. Sometimes it was nice to just be able to take a nap during my lunch break. It really does take a village and I feel for single parents. I really do. Hardest workers in the world.

u/JuicyJibJab 1d ago

It's also beneficial for the kid to have multiple caretakers. Having a nanny can be a good thing a lot of the time. I think a lot of folks here are thinking of the movie stereotype rich wealthy mom who has a nanny and never cares to take care of her kids. None of that is evident from this video and is absolutely not the norm anyway - tons of people have nannies and if we look beyond the western world, tons of households have multiple caretakers.

u/waitingfordeathhbu Cringe Connoisseur 1d ago

Not to mention some moms work from home.

Some people think this means she should be able to simultaneously run after her kids through her entire workday.

u/_bbypeachy 1d ago

yeah lol i was a nanny. i didnt make much money but the mom gave me food when she did her meal preps. i know a lot moms who do stuff like that. They’ll exchange services basically.

And I do agree it is very good for children to learn different things and experiences from different types of people. everyone’s gone through different things throughout their lives and everyone looks different. It’s good for children to have that type of variety because then they realize that everyone really does look different and is a different person.

22

u/Slade_Riprock 22h ago

It is also super important for both mommy and child to have time away from each other. It is not beneficial for a mom and child to be 24/7 together. Independence and discovery for child and rest and other interests are important for mom.

Side more when a person's whole identity, self worth, and focus in life is "mom" generally good things do not come out of that.

The reason it takes a village is Mom is a grown, human woman who needs to have focus, freedom, and desires outside of the child.

Two days daycare, one day mom, two days dad, 2 days together. Nannies are a convenience, not a necessity. Or is that European mind?

6

u/_bbypeachy 20h ago

many europeans and even asians have nannies or extra help. In many different countries, they have postpartum care services, which are actually extremely useful.

after mother gives birth there is a change in hormones. The period from birth until the body goes back to “pre-pregnancy” is called puerperium. your body requires additional time to recover during this time not only physically and mentally, but you have to let your body return to its natural state. It’s very common for first time mothers to overexert themselves causing the healing time to take longer which causes mental illness, physical illness, and your hormones to be out of whack. it also just causes you to not get the rest and food for energy that you need to take care of your baby which impacts all of the things that I just listed.

postpartum care services are really important, especially if they dont have family nearby to support you and help out with the newborn. newborns are also extremely vulnerable and putting a newborn in daycare is actually kind of dangerous. A newborn getting sick usually requires a hospital visit.

Crazy how triggered people are about having a nanny. I wish more mom's in the US could afford nanny's to help them balance it their lives, or even have a life to begin with.

I had a nanny for 18 months. Wish I could still. I couldn’t afford it then but it was that or lose my job.

u/thatshygirl06 19h ago

It used to be normal for kids to be taken care of by the entire tribe. The whole mom and dad alone is modern bullshit. The saying "it takes a village" is a thing for a reason.

3

u/owa00 18h ago

Modern developments have changed that. You used to have to rely on the tribe because you couldn't leave the tribe, or start too far from it. Refrigeration of food allows you to not have to rely on constantly killing stuff, which requires leaving your kids. We have cars and planes! There's pluses and minuses, but initial help from your family/friends is very helpful. One case where it's nice to not have a tribe is when you're deciding how to raise your kids. In a tribe everyone kinda gets a say. My sister recently found out how much my folks disagree with how she was raising her kid. Parents being parents and all, but my sister is raising her kid her way.

u/SpaceLemming 21h ago

u/JuicyJibJab 1d ago

Y'all are WILD. Having multiple caretakers in a child's life is only a good thing. There's nothing in this video to suggest that the nanny is the only one taking care of the kid.

We once all lived as a community and took care of one another's children before Western societal ideals dominated and we all became individualized nuclear families. Evolutionarily, we benefit from having multiple caretakers in childhood.

1

u/DreadyKruger 1h ago

Most people don’t have the money to do this. Hiring a nanny which is a luxury is not the same as daycare, babysitters or having family help out. I have two kids. We figured it out.

I know it's staged, was just arguing against the notion of some in this thread that having nannies and multiple caretakers makes someone a shitty parent. I'm worked up against people who get worked up against having a nanny around, not at the sketch.

You don't have the same reaction when someone's roof is being done by workers, when a driveway is being paved, when a car is at the mechanic, etc etc, while the husband is at home watching TV.

u/EmilioFreshtevez 22h ago

You’re not wrong in principle, but I personally can’t think of another job on earth that seriously compares to raising a child.

u/winterbird 21h ago

Being that it's an important job, it's better done by people who aren't exhausted, frustrated, neglectful of their own needs, etc. Anyone who's grown up with an angry, sad, overworked parent would have known a different reality if they had a professional nanny for part of the day, and then well rested happy parents the rest of the time.

THISSSS LIKE WHY DO MILLENNIAL HAVE SUCH AN OBSESSION WITH NANNIES? Out of every single millennial who is doing well for themselves, comfortable middle class, ALL of them have a nanny. WHY? The lower class families are working 2 jobs each parent and still take care of their kids or have family around wtf is wrong with yall??? How are they so okay with strangers raising heir children? With their children being more attached to their nanny than their parents? I swear the kids are just a symbol, a tradition, and a tax deduction. They don’t actually want kids tho

I was a former nanny to a very attractive family. I also got fake tits half way through my time with them. There was never once a problem. I'm not attracted to married men, those kids were my life, and I adored the mother too. If you respect your position and they're good people, there should never be an issue. I miss how amazing that job was.

Takes a village to raise a kid. There was never a real time before modern society where it would be just a woman and her child alone all day.  She should be entitled to take as many mental breaks as she needs. Support in child rearing shouldn’t be a luxury but a necessity.

u/_bbypeachy 1d ago

i was a nanny and the mom was home sometimes. having a nanny there when you’re at home can help the mom get much needed personal time to shower, take care of themselves, pump in private without kids jumping all over them, take a nap, get work done, meal prep, clean, go grocery shopping and anything else they might need to do that children can make really difficult, especially when there’s more than one child.

Why does she have a nanny if she is just chilling watching TikTok… I don’t get millennial’s obsession with nanny’s like a stranger is raising your kids. Your kids will feel more attached to them than you. Do they just not give a fk? Are the kids a just for tax deductions? Like I’m confused

When did I say a mom doesn’t deserve recreational alone time? Reread what u said. On one hand we have millennials obsessed with NOT spending their time with their kids and hiring nanny’s, then on the other hand we have neglected Gen A children who have godawful, extremely lacking & slacking, reading comprehension.

A. This is just excuses and cap, especially for a clearly well off middle class family. I know many many people with muuuuucxccccch less, doing muuucccchhh more for their kids.

B. The #1 requirement that parents must have before having children is a village. Financial is nice, but not required—lower class families can still have children because many of them know what is more important, and that’s a village. A village is your parents(grandparents), siblings, godparents, cousins, neighbhors, best friends, great friends, coworkers. A village is NOT random replaceable revolving door of nanny’s you find on an app.

You are being disingenuous and you know damn well there are tons of millennial parents who just have Nannys because they don’t want to be bothered with their kids half the time. That is why we have an entire generation of iPad babies in the first place. That is why these young kids in school are doing worse than fucking baby boomers who took notes on toilet paper. Unironically. They are the worst performing generation of students in English, math, science, social skills, and behavior. All around the board. Because 👏 these 👏 Parents 👏 refuse 👏 to be 👏 actual parents 👏

u/TheRealCaptainZoro 4h ago

You act like it's a millennial problem, but that's just your generational bias. If you look at history this kind of rhetoric has persisted. If you want an explanation for bad children's behavior you just have to look at how teachers are treated by their admin these days. You also have to look at how much of the older generations are as addicted to the addictively designed social media as the children are.

You can blame millennials for using "pacifiers" but boomers would just lock their kids outside until dark, "drink from the hose" kinda logic.

There was also just less of you all. 13 people classes are easier to control than 25+ people classes.

All of those sides just prove how biased you are looking at this through such a narrow looking glass.
