Some rich people just shouldn’t be allowed to have children
Nanny Jennifer Russell, 30, who has been caring for the children of the wealthy for 13 years, tells why she believes that it would be better if many rich people simply didn’t have children at all.
In her 13 years as a professional nanny to the wealthy upper-middle classes, Jennifer Russell has seen it all – and now she’s sharing a glimpse inside the lives of the very wealthy and sharing tales of their inability to raise their own children.
This is one of those things that gives true meaning to truth is stranger than fiction.
For the life of me, I just can’t understand why people would bring children into this world if they’re not going to care for them. I can’t imagine relying on someone else to raise my children – though I’m certainly glad there are nannies like Jennifer Russell and Jo Frost out there to be had.

I simply cannot imagine bringing a child into this world by choice only to neglect him or her in such a way! Such a disgrace! I feel so sorry for the children!
It’s true that some people – rich or poor – shouldn’t have children.
I feel so perplexed about this. There are people who can truly give their children such wonderful lives w/o constraint and yet choose not to. These same people bring more like them into the world because the children they bare do not know any different.
On the other hand, you have people who want to bring children into the world and, yet, they still don’t get how to raise them either.
Is there even a way to begin winning this battle? Is there a way to reach both the poor and the rick and all those in between to come together collectively to raise decent children in this world??
It is a great example of how money can’t buy you love and children should become a big part of your life, not just an addition to it.
Why have kids if you are not going to care for them yourselves? Some kids spend all day and night with other people than their parents.
The day I became pregnant my life changed. I never realized the sacrifices I would make but I would do it all over again (the 5+ months of bedrest, the c section, the recovery etc.) because my little boy is so precious to me. I can’t imagine having someone else care for him. I don’t even want to go back to work until I absolutely have to because I don’t want to miss out on a thing. It’s really sad when parents are not parents.
afte reading Nanny Diaries I had wondered about this very topic. So many seemed to look at children as part of being rich…something they could own.
It’s sad how some people treat their kids, and it’s even worse when they’re not even trying.
I’ve always thought it was so sad, the way a lot of people with money neglect their kids. My mom is always talking about my poor kids because we don’t have a lot of money. You know what though, they know they are loved, I spend time with them & we do our best to keep them happy!
I’m one of those people who actually likes being around her kids. I can’t imagine ever letting or even wanting someone else to care for them.
