Nannies, Nannies, Nannies Galore

How many nannies does it take to raise 14 babies? I'm going to guess 18...

Nadya Suleman thinks she is pulling the wool over the public's eyes when she talks about how she's raised her first six children with only her mom's help. Liar Liar pants on fire.

I reported in February that Nadya had a $500/week nanny but what I didn't know was that she has a team of nannies taking care of her babies.

The 18 different nannies work 4-5 person shifts up to 12 hours. The nannies are from the Merry Poppins to Order and have worked with Nadya's family for two years. See, I was right.

Nadya says that her home is "peaceful" these days, albeit challenging. 12 kids at home, plus nannies and cameras is not peaceful situation.

Sounds like Nadya spends lots of quality time with her kids. Now that she has 12 kids at home, how many people aka nannies are in the house at once, Nadya certainly is not. Here she is in Big Boy's Neighborhood right after she brought two more of the octuplets home.

One of the nannies that was fired said that, "This woman does not care for these kids, she is in [it] for the paparazzi, the media. That is my opinion. I've been there for a week. I'm the eyes, the ears and the mouth of these little children."

Nadya says that she's not capitalizing on her plethora of kids and the reason she's not working is because she wants to be a mom 100% of the time, blah, blah, blah.

She might want to start by staying home and being with her children.

Ryan Shawhughes Has A Heavy Load To Carry

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 23:05:00 GMT

No, I'm not talking about her baby. Cute little Clementine Jane, who was born to Ryan Shawhughes and husband Ethan Hawke on July 18th, looks like she only weighs around eight pounds.

I'm talking about the heavy burden of forever being known as The Nanny That Had An Affair With Ethan Hawke And Broke Up His Marriage To Uma Thurman. That's a big cross to bear, and a helluva long caption for the t-shirt that I'm sure Uma is having printed up for her.

J-Lo Goes Through Nannies Faster Than Eyeliner

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:55:00 GMT

Wanted: Nanny for twins of superstar couple. Hours: Sixteen hour days, seven days a week. Appreciation of entire Jennifer Lopez songbook a must, especially Jenny From The Block, extended dance mix version. Short-term contract available.

J-Lo and husband Marc Anthony are reportedly looking for a new nanny for twins Max and Emme after their last caregiver walked off the job. “Probably more like running off the job,” an insider told the National Enquirer. “Normally people who make huge sums of money and have loads of professional and social obligations hire a nanny for each child, especially for newborns. But it is as if Jennifer expects one nanny not only to take care of both twins, but to work 16-hour days, seven days a week!”

The couple's first nanny quit after only one week of Ms. Lopez' demanding schedule. The second one lasted a little while longer, but was eventually worn out as well. “They hired a second nanny, who was wonderful with the twins, but she couldn’t take working such long hours without a break,” the source said. “After that nanny resigned, the couple began desperately seeking nanny No. 3.”

The position remains vacant, until J-Lo can lure another poor unsuspecting soul into her web with offers of free concert tickets and castoff wigs. I'd totally jump on it, but I'm holding out for the Jolie-Pitt job.

Deborah Gibson-Not Ready To Be A Mom Yet, Who Knew?

trix — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:43:00 GMT

You can add Deborah Gibson to the list of women that want to be older moms.

Personally, I didn't know there was a list. I know I wanted to wait until I was 30 and I thought that was excessive. I waited and I am glad I did because I wasn't ready which is exactly why Deborah who is 37 is waiting, she's not ready.

Deborah told OK! Magazine that the latest rash of births to older mothers give her hope. I bet they'll being called older. She named Jennifer Lopez, 38,who has four month old twins, Marcia Cross, 46, who also has 16 month old twins as her examples.

My only question to her is, does she know how hard it was for Jennifer and Marcia to get pregnant? Is she aware of how much energy kids take from you every waking minute of everyday? Does she know that it's hard to keep up with them at 22 let alone 40? (I know, I know that was three questions.)

Deborah says that when she does have kids she will be a very hands-on kind of mom. Instead of what?

I like Debbie Gibson, I really do, I just think that so many people want to have their cake and it eat too anymore that they don't realize the sacrifices you make for your kids everyday. It's almost like they are an accessory, a toy to play with that you give back to the nanny before you go out on the town to have some adult time.

J.Lo and Marc Need a Nanny

trix — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 12:39:00 GMT

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony need to start looking for a new nanny.

Since the Lopez-Anthony nanny walked out in February, the house has been said to be crazy. There are "loud noises, babies crying, people screaming, phone's ringing, and tv's blaring," all through the house. Sounds like my house, without the personal chef and assistants to do my bidding.

Marc is planning a new world tour and J.Lo is designing a new exercise line, so it sounds as though it's a good thing J.Lo's momma moved in. They must be relieved that she came to help when she did, for they have much to busy of lives to cater to their babies the way the rest of us do.

Did that sound bitter? Sorry J.Lo, guess I am a little jealous.

Ethan Hawke Marrying Ryan Shawhughes This Weekend?

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 13:05:00 GMT

Word on the street is that Ethan Hawke will be marrying his pregnant nanny - I mean baby mama Ryan Shawhughes, this weekend. Ethan and Ryan started having an affair while he was still married to Uma Thurman. Ryan was hired to take care of the couple's two children Maya, 9, and Levon, 6. Guess Ryan really ended up "taking care" of Ethan, if you know what I mean.

I think there's one thing we can all learn from this heartbreaking tale of infidelity and broken marital trust: Always hire an ugly nanny.

I've Almost Forgiven Ethan Hawke

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 10 May 2008 16:05:00 GMT

Here's some pictures of Ethan Hawke dropping his kids Levon and Maya off at their mom Uma Thurman's house. Ethan looks pretty hot, even though I still think it's creepy that he left Uma to bang the nanny.

You know, whenever I hear 'the nanny' I can't help but think of that show with Fran Drescher. Not that anyone would ever leave Uma Thurman for Fran Drescher.

Where was I? Oh yeah, Ethan and his hotness.

In fact, if I wasn't already stalking Will Smith I might start stalking Ethan. Sorry - I hear stalking jokes aren't going over big with Uma these days. Probably not nanny jokes, either.

Christina Aguilera Is Going To Avoid The Pain of Childbirth

Sassy Smith — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 17:03:00 GMT

Christina Aguilera has plans to avoid the "pain of natural childbirth."

And just how is she planning to do that? Reportedly Christina has scheduled a C-section for January 10 and as we all know, major abdominal surgery is a walk in the park. We wish you lots of luck with that.

Aguilera is also preparing for a second baby shower for her "close friends." Like that baby won't be spoiled!

Stop the Presses! Heidi Klum Appears Sans Nanny!

Whit Honea — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 21:02:00 GMT

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Forget about Britney or whatever you were talking about, this is the story of the day. Nay! Week! The lovely Heidi Klum picked up her daughter Leni from school without a swarm of nannies flanking her every move. This is the biggest. story. ever.

Thank you sweet Jezebel for giving me hope.

The Stars Are NOT Just Like Us: Heidi And Her Nanny Entourage

HerBadMother — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 20:04:00 GMT

I love that Heidi Klum spends so much time with her kids. Going for walks, hangin' at the park - she's one celebrity mom who is right in there, doing the good work, putting all the other, lazier moms to shame.

Of course, she's got two nannies and a doting mother to help her do it, but that's nothing. That's only, like, one caregiver per kid, if you don't count Heidi, which you don't, because who would carry her non-fat half-caf latte if she had to wrangle a child? Who would answer her phone? Think about it: three kids. One latte. One Crackberry. Only TWO arms.

She needs those nannies, people. How could she spend time with her children if she didn't have staff and family around to actually carry those kids? Please.

Heidi Klum Pictured Sans Nannies... and Clothes

Whit Honea — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 15:22:00 GMT

I forgot Heidi Klum was hot.

The mother of 3 recently posed for Arena magazine (which I've never heard of), and for the sake of thorough journalism (is that what this is?) I thought it best to bring the pictures to you, the public.

I'll admit, the photos are freaking smokin', and the fact that she's made babies in that body is pretty impressive, but between the airbrushing and the pilates, is this setting the expectations at a unrealistic level for woman, specifically mothers? Probably. Welcome to Hollywood.

My wife says that she would look like this, but she's only had two babies, and therefore, there's no challenge.

Exhausting The World's Supply of Mary Poppinses: Heidi, Seal, How Could You?

HerBadMother — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 21:33:00 GMT

Here's what you very often don't see in pics of celebrity parents with their offspring: the teams of nannies that actually do the heavy lifting of parenthood for said celebrity parents.

I don't have any issues with parents who employ nannies. My daughter has a nanny. The thing is, our nanny takes care of our daughter when my husband and I are both working, and cannot take care of her ourselves. You would never see us out and about on an afternoon stroll, sipping our lattes while the nanny pushed the stroller. Our hipster parent street cred would go, like, waaay down. And if we had more than one child? We would not employ separate nannies for each child. Even Mary Poppins worked one-for-three, and paying for three-for-three just strikes me as a bad deal.

Bitch Magazine recently featured an article that was originally posted on Glossedover.com, in which the author railed against certain 'Park Avenue moms' who were quoted in W magazine bitching about their nannies (it also featured a piece on the insidious effects of - ahem - celebrity baby gossip, but that's another story). I usually love Bitch Magazine, but when I read this particular piece, I thought, whaddup with the hate on moms who work and pay for childcare? Classist much? Sure, Park Avenue moms are easy to hate on, but please. It's not just social x-rays who employ nannies, and it seemed to me that the author had a bug up her ass about working moms in general ("We aren't suggesting that these women give up their careers and stay home with kids. In fact, quite the contrary - we're thinking that the less influence these women have on their children, the better." WTF?)

Then I saw the above pic of Heidi Klum and Seal out strolling with their THREE FREAKIN' NANNIES, and I was forced to admit that there is such a thing as conspicuous consumption in the arena of childcare, and that it's a little bit ugly. Because after all, if Heidi and Seal start hogging all the child-care workers, who are the rest of us going to exploit?
