To think this dream job is just sad.

[Cucy]

MN posted a link with a ‘dream job’ so of course I clicked it and when I saw the insane salary I read on.

It just made me so sad.

It feels like they’ve had children just to moulded them into what they think is the perfect person.

They waited too long for the 5yo, so now they’re starting on the 1yo.

Its like something out if a movie where babies are bred and moulded into a certain design.

Why not let kids be kids and give them support and opportunities but let them choose their own path.

AIBU to feel so sorry for kids like this?

Farage seems absolutely fine to me. Likeable and honest. Not afraid of the truth. So I actually think its parents probably did a good job . It’s really immature, cretinous and rude when people bring random politics and ad hominem insults in a thread just to stir up division on an unrelated thread.

Probably not if they're a man, though - as per the non-too-subtle message in the job spec!!

Agree ! Wonder what the parents jobs are.

they’ve also decided that this kid will like cricket and rugby- poor child can’t even choose their own hobbies

knowing they're not optional sports in most schools (state secondary included), and a standard in most private schools, there's some logic in their reasoning.

Yes, it's very sad. What their 1yo (and 5yo) would treasure most of all is special time with Mum & Dad doing normal everyday things - yet they seem so keen on throwing money at never having to actually spend any time at all with their children and just expecting a team of staff to provide them with the adult that they want in 17 years time, as though he's an item in a catalogue; and not even mentioning their poor 5yo whom they've already written off as unsatisfactory and a waste of their time and demands expectations, by the sounds of it.

I can’t help with tutoring but I’ll happily sit on retainer for the therapy the child will undoubtedly need.

It sounds like it was written by Dodi Al Fayed.

This is so intriguing but also terrifying

Or they could just get a posh local childminder SAHM and let their kid hang out with them, would be more balanced and far cheaper and donate the rest to charity!

I don't see any jealousy here. The ad sounds deranged.

This is extremely worrying for those children.
What about unconditional love?

It's not like I agree with them, but their attitude is such a common attitude and the requirements such common ones for that kind of wealthy and British-crazy family? or what they think is "British culture" 😂

Look no further at the number of foreign students in some of the top private schools, how they were raised in their home country to start with.

It's not "unusual". It might be wrong and alien to us - but it's not new.

I am not sure there are so many other cultures who bring so much attention, must be the royal family and they chance to marry or get close to them, who knows 😂

Anyone think this is a spoof post.

No one can be seriously thinking that tutoring their 1 year old to be English landed gentry when they don’t sound English, they live in north London and don’t have a title

I guess Fergie could apply (Not Alex Ferguson), not got a lot on at the moment, could do with the money and knows a King. 🤷‍♀️

That 1 year old is going to turn out to be a proper wanker.

I felt like I was reading an ad from the rich family in Parasite at first! Maybe their existing nanny will happen to know of someone suitable... 😄

Small matter of her being married to a creep though?

It is a fascinating study in attempted social mobility...
It however seems to be unaware of the one key criteria for entry into that world - being born into it. However much money you have / however many test matches or regattas you have been to, whether you start playing polo at 3 or stalking at 5 - doesn't matter - the world of old money is all about the 'old' bit (pedigree and family connections) not the 'money' bit (as no-one in that world has money any more!) - so right from the outset they will fail as money can not buy exactly what they want...

As King James VI of Scotland (1 of England) replied when his nurse asked him to make her son a gentleman:

A gentleman I could never make him, though I could make him a lord.

I'm concerned what the 5 year old is doing that means he has failed? Running with drug gangs
Or telling his teacher to go fuck themself? or eating with chopsticks and watching Bollywood films?

Married? When did that happen?

Yes I also thought it was spoof at first! Most likely drafted by a public school boy. Imagine a string of Etonians and Harrowians studying Early Years instead of PPE. Who needs to aspire to be Prime Minister if you can get paid more on a 5 hour work schedule and party on the side. The only thing missing is the Westminster wine cellar.

1986 🤔

(Divorced in 1996)

That kid would so run away at 18 and join a band.

Exactly, no longer married, like the PP said.

That poor child.
