[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is up with all the responses saying “take care of your own kids!”  One PP even called the kids brats - where’s this hateful energy coming from?

First it feels super misogynistic - literally no one has mentioned dad. Eleven pages of people calling mom terrible because she is bringing a nanny.

Second while parental bonding with kids is of course important, we need to normalize the idea that parents can use help raising their kids. We don’t know why this family is bringing a nanny. Maybe they have a bunch of kids. Maybe the parents have to work. Maybe one of the parents has cancer. Etc etc.

For generations that help was from family. People bring grandma on vacation all the time. Next time PPs bring grandma on vacation, I hope someone runs up to them shouting, parent your own damn kids!  Rawr!!!

Any PPs drop your kid off at summer camp?  You’re a terrible mother!  Parent your own bratty kid!

Anyone drop their kids at grandma’s house for the weekend?  You’re making grandma work 24-7, this is human trafficking and you should go to jail. Rawr!

Any PPs work a job and need childcare?  Why’d you even have kids - so someone else could raise them?  Rawr!

There is a difference between help and someone else raising your kids.  This is a family vacation.  Take care of your own kids.  If not, leave them home.  [/quote]
