So, news broke today about a nanny who allegedly stabbed two kids under her care in the family's Upper West Side apartment. While reading the article online I made the dire mistake of reading the comments/reactions to the story, and let me tell you...a lot of these judgy motherfuckers need to go somewhere. In particular the folks who are BLAMING THE MOTHER for having the audacity to hire a nanny in the first place.
Have several seats and a large tumbler of shut the fuck up. Please and thank you.
It does not matter if I have all the money in the world or barely two nickels to rub together- if I want to hire someone to help me take care of my kids, OR RAISE THEM FOR ME, that's my damn prerogative. The nerve of people to think this woman deserved to have her children murdered because she was what they perceived to be a spoiled, kept woman who handed off motherly duties to the hired help... WHO DOES THAT?
Do people really think that giving birth means your entire existence has to revolve around your kids now? Moms & dads can't have outside, non-kid interests? It's just house arrest until the college years? Fuck outta here with all that noise! If that were the case, do you realize how many parents would kill the kids themselves?
Listen up because I'm about to break it down for you.
YES, when you decide to have children, those children are your responsibility. You have to think of their best interest and arm them with the tools they'll need later in life. But do you know what's in a child's best interest? To have happy parents. Parents who've had enough respite to deal with whatever fresh hell the world (and their kids) will throw at them each day. Sometimes that means finding someone to mind the kids while pursuing a rejuvenating activity or some adult/nekkid time with your partner (don't forget your partner, ever; that's a sure-fire way to end up in divorce court. Trust.), away from the stress of diapers and whining and Nick Jr.
So let's focus on getting justice for these two children and not hate on this woman because she was able to afford an Upper West Side life, okay? I mean, two of her kids were just KILLED, for chrissake! She's a human being with feelings!
I swear, man, that keyboard courage be a bitch sometimes...
*smooches...vowing to never again read comments on news articles*
---------
now that all that's been said, can we please address the fact that this nanny is Dominican? UGH, BITCH, UGH!! Just ruining life for the rest of us!

While I don't agree with lambasting the mother of those poor defenseless children I will play devil's advocate. If you don't have the means to raise a child yourself, don't have children. Oh wait, things happen right, well don't have sex. Why do children ultimately suffer when parents feel the need to branch out? Too many kids suffer terrible fates, whether it be neglect, rape, murder or otherwise and disconnected parents don't help that. You want to go have fun and live life, do it before you get knocked up. Enjoy your partner and plan life out. Kids don't get a choice on when/where to be born or choose who rear them.
I saw that story and it jut broke my heart. I mean, how terrible a story.
Thing is, I knew right away that the judgmental bitches would be out there talking about how this mother shouldn't have been out there working or whatever and should have been home with her kids. That's why I cannot read comments on stories like this. I'd like to kill the commenters.
Le sigh... here we go with the anonymous comments. And here I thought I was immune.
All that you wrote- that's not how life works. We're not indentured servants to our kids. Expecting people or couples to never do anything for themselves ever just because they have children is unreasonable. "Don't have children. Don't have sex." What planet do you live on? What species are you? This stinks of Nancy Reagan's JUST SAY NO campaigns, and look how good that turned out.
@irene- I should have known better. Really, my elevated blood pressure is my own fault for reading the comments. SMH!
Soooo, according to Mr./Ms Commenter, if you ever plan on leaving the house without your children, don't have children. Yeah...ooookkkkaaaayyy!
BTW @ thejadednyer: we going dancing this weekend? I found a homeless dude on the corner that will watch Olivia for me for some beer money and a pack of smokes. He seems trustworthy, right?
@irene- yeah, we're still going. I'm leaving my kids with the registered sex offender down the street. It's all good!
Bwah ha ha ha ha ha!!!
When they're ready to come home, give me an hour's notice. I could probably pound a sixer and get in at least two full solid bowls before pulling out my wheelie cart. It's a little rusty but they have their tetanus shots, right?
