I honestly don’t get why people are upset about this. It’s obvious she’s rich. I would assume someone like her has a cleaner and a nanny. Lots of less wealthy people do. Who cares?
No one cares that she is rich. No one cares that she has people cleaning her house. Hell, I'm not rich, and I have that. It's everything else about her personal - her curated life - her making a living of off telling people if they dream it they can do it (without recognizing that she came from an extremely privileged start - not everyone can afford to not work and hope insta postings take off).
The purpose of the post seemed good though - I think it would be worse if she was pretending to do it all when in reality she has so many employees.
Agree that it's nice she actually acknowledges all her help - vs. someone like Joanna Gaines who when she was coming up wanted us all to believe her toddlers were at her knees just below camera in every shot - newsflash if you've worked on a reality tv show or any kind of TV show, it's hours of waiting and lighting and reshoots and no one is parenting a toddler during that time.
But anyway, I don't think that is what is annoying people. What started this whole thing is that a commenter called her unrelatable. If she had just let it go we wouldn't all be talking about this but instead she gets on and rants about it and sounds a little unhinged to use an over-used DCUM term. And what she said struck people the wrong way, because her whole thing is again, you can just make it happen if you it, without acknowledging her INSANE privilege.
But I think the core issue is that she let the facade slip - she cares a lot about what people think - that is the core of why every influencer is an influencer - it's all curated. The buzzfeed article called it a whole genre of "perfectly imperfect" motherhood. She wants you to believe she is imperfect so you will relate, but her imperfections are highly controlled and curated and not at all authentic.

She wants people to believe that that she came from nothing and built her empire. When in reality she had a lot of help and privilege along the way. He now ex-husband was an executive at Disney so I can bet she met the right people and had a lot of help along the way not to mention she could take risks because even if she failed she was still loaded. And don't even get me started on how she built her brand on her "exceptional" marriage, going on about how if you weren't having sex twice a day your marriage was weak. Then got divorced and had a book out a month later.
It is also offensive the she had money because she worked hard. When a lot of people work insanely hard/harder than she ever will and are still living in poverty and unable to support their families.
She is all around a disgusting person.
Oh an there is the fact the she had 3 son, but "god" was calling her to have a daughter so she bought one.
