Oh come one. It was funny. And anyone who still wanted to work for her after that was obviously a good fit. I hardly doubt she hates her kids. In fact, I'm sure she did it mostly for humor and honesty.

She is willing to say what most people only think.

Get over it. I'd work for her any day.

And the kids are going to be fine. They appear well loved to me.... Its far better than posting an ad for a sitter and hiring just anyone who walks in off the streets and paying them less than freaking minimum wage. That is a parent who really doesn't care.... if you ask me.

Full ad is there in the article. "copy of her ad"

Scary stuff.

Maybe I'm just a naive Southerner, but I don't find any humor in this. If her children are out of control, there is a reason why. Read: lack of discipline. Extreme wealth does not equal entitlement.

If she has such a negative attitude about them, and wants to pawn her responsibility off on a minimum wage person, why on earth did she breed? She sounds like she's be much happier single without the stretch marks and carpet crabs. Worse, instead of stopping after one, she continued to breed another three after the first.

The husband is also at fault. He should have seen what a witch his wife happened to be, and he should have kept his unit in his pants.

I hate to see how the kids are going to turn out.

@Carol: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! Every mom out there wishes she could be this honest about the moments where kids are truly a pain in the azz without a brow-beating!!!!

The woman didn't say she didn't love her kids; maybe that day she simply had had enough of their crap....

Oh, grow up. If you don't see at least some of yourself in this ad, then you live in a fairy tale land and have a magic wand. Rebecca is just more honest than most.

Maybe she should take some of the Bergdorf's money and get herself some therapy. What these poor kids must learn from such a neurotic, self centred parent is mind boggling. If her kids are a "pain", do we wonder where they got it from?

You can see from her art that she is fundamentally creepy. She is hoping for a book deal but you can bet the real Best Seller is going to be written by her kids when they grow up and get out of her drug-pushing, child-hating life.

She really should learn to spell.

I think it's fine. I think it's amusing and honest. I also think it got her the attention and the nanny that she wanted.

The tone is nauseating... epitomizes everything that is wrong with wealthy, entitled freaks!

1) If you don't know how to spell, do not assume you can apply for a book deal.

No, what is frightening is if you look at her website of paintings. It looks like she has nude and semi nude paintings of her children. And, according to another website, Soodak is a clinical associate professor at New York University School of Medicine. She also has a private psychotherapy practice in Manhattan.

Yeah. It was funny... weeks ago when this first came out! It's recycled, which seems common for babble these days.

leahsmom,

That's what editors are for!

Hmm - halfway decent is stretching it a bit. You'd think, if she wanted to get a writing gig out of it, she might have someone teach her punctuation and capitalization first?

Well, there's something to be said for honesty.
