…wouldn’t you, some days, love to put an ad in the paper or maybe on craigslist for a ‘Live-in Nanny’?

Most of us couldn’t afford to but if you could, would you start off the ad like this…

‘My kids are a pain’

Followed by…

“If you cannot multitask, or communicate without being passive aggressive, don’t even bother replying,”

And….

“If you are fundamentally unhappy with your life, you will be more unhappy if you take this job, so do us all a favor and get some treatment or move to the Rockies, but do not apply for employment with us.”

 Doesn’t sound like the best way of getting the help you need. But the  ‘Nanny Ad’ appeared to hit a nerve and took on a life of it’s own, featuring in numerous parenting blogs, e-mailed around the world, and even inspired an article in the New York Times.

And I guess, in time, maybe a book and/or a movie…

The position, believe it or not, has been filled so the ad is no longer on Craiglist but I did manage to find a copy of the full 1,000 word ad to read for you to read.
