Is this really News? Shock Horror - Nanny employed by busy, wealthy woman.

I don't get it. Front page news? Kate W has two children and a demanding career. Angelina has an army of Nannies and nobody bats an eyelid. Fair enough. But this article says she 'confessed' to having a part time nanny. So, is that like confessing to being a part time {Enter Something Interesting or Important Here}

They also suggest that having a nanny is part of the hollywood lifestyle. Twaddle. And this is in the Torygraph, where 'Find Nanny' appears on expectant mothers' To Do lists along side buying a nappy bin.

Just struck me as sensationalist rhubarb, that's all...

what a load of twaddle.
Would have been more surprised if she didnt have a nanny to be honest.

Does anyone else think she looks like she's got a layer of icing over her face in that picture.

I suppose the point is more that she'd originally said she didn't have a nanny when she did -- but from context it sounds as though in the original interview she was talking about that 24-hour army of staff including multiple nannies thing that slebs sometimes do, whereas with a part-time nanny she presumably still has to juggle childcare and so forth.

At the bottom her spokesperson seems to be confirming that at no point did she say she didn't have a nanny at a time when she did, so she's obviously got a nanny since then.

But agree, how bizarre to be 'news'. Woman with busy career presumably involving varied and unpredictable hours chooses nanny as suitable childcare. I mean, what else is she going to do?

Sorry, I would have an army of staff if I had their money. But strangely I wouldn't have a nanny. Mothers help 'yes' good babysitter 'yes' still would pay friend's daughter as she is lovely,trustworthy and I love her. Housekeeper 'yes' cleaner yes maintenance person and personal secretary. The I would take my Ds & various family & friends to the hills with a picnic. Let everyone else sort out stuff and clean up after us. >> 9must now go and clean the loo

Sorry can I have one of those naked men too!
