Too posh to parent

[Smartiepants79]

£200,000 a year on 'parental outsourcing' but one of her three children have car seats.
And her chauffeur doesn't seem to know what a seatbelt is.

Have there been any dads? (I've been flicking to other channels!)

Are you allowed to attack a potential kidnapper like that?!

FANTA!

One man at the potty training lady's launch party. Who said he hasn't changed a nappy of any of his four children. No other men at all!

I'm not sure that poor little boy wants to be a scientist. His little face!

I haven't stopped laughing at that 'portrait' - "the room fell silent for what felt like an hour"

Fuck me though, £1k an hour for a tutor!

Saw this on the TV listings and I immediately thought "There HAS to be a thread on this..." :o will watch on catch up

Interesting that they're all so big on security for the children and then show the boy at the end getting into his school uniform - I know which school that uniform belongs to and therefore where the boy goes! Not very security conscious?!

moon I know. Reckon he'll get kicked out of Eton for dealing when he's 15.

Lovely kids, repulsive adults. Absolutely disgusting how the Phillipino nanny was left to clear up the stinky leaves because everyone else (including all the other 'staff') thought it was beneath them. Sickening.

Half of me was shocked and disgusted. The half thougjt it was hilarious..shocked at the Fanta mom. What a prize prat. That poor nanny was set up for a fall. She seemed nice and the kids liked her instantly but it seemed but she clearly didnt quite get what that mother wanted. And she wanted a lot.
Yes the dinner was big but looked nice. The mother was rude. And that point,if id have been the porential nanny is have aaid fuck off

When my dd grows up I want her to be a private tutor for rich people's children!

Those children had everything except what they truely needed. I also think that the mothers had a serious crisis of confidence. Why pay 2k for potty training when you have an army of trained nannies?

I've just watched this on catch up

And @ "they've never heard of Fanta" yeah right love, you're kidding no-one. Fanta mum seemed as if she was trying really hard to prove she/the family was something that clearly she feels it is important to be seen to be but I suspect she/they aren't actually. Which is odd. And why on earth was t she clear with that nanny from the start. It's isn't hard to say "we are vegan, we don't do sweets or sugar, ever" instead of letting nanny fall into traps she didn't know to look for.

I'm sure I've seen the mum with the Phillopino nanny on other programmes like this.

Yes she was on one of the millionaire mansion shows with her DH.

I only saw part of it, but what an odd documentary. Or 'documentary'. For a start, none of the families were 'posh' at all, just very wealthy international nouveau riche, which is a whole different phenomenon. Sure, the UC has traditionally outsourced its parenting to nannies and Eton, but don't generally go in for hiring toilet training consultants and teams of ninja nannies.

I had loads of questions that were never answered, at least not in the bit I saw - was the dark-haired Fanta-giving nanny ever hired by Yoga Mummy? (Not a chance, I imagine - the apple juice was a test, ditto the meal, and she failed both.) Why didn't the nice Filipina nanny for the Nigerian mother return home to the Philippines now she has put her children through university - are other family members still relying on her?

And how old was the little girl for whom the toilet training consultant was being hired? She seemed barely able to walk yet, and veyr uncertain on her feet, and I couldn't figure out whether she had special needs of some kind and was a late walker, or whether she was being toilet trained very young...?

And does the portrait painter go home in the evening and piss himself laughing about how much he can milk the dimwit 'fashion designer' mother for, while all his old art school chums starve in garrets?

The girl with the boxing gloves on being allowed to punch the little brother in the eye, and getting away with it. , and the the poor nanny having to run round after all those dogs picking up shit, like a glorified slave!

😂😂😂😂at Fanta nanny with her mega food portions. Rebel against the regime. 😈

No way would I want to work for that lady. 🙁

Potty lady is just 💩💩💩💩

I would love the money to pay for private tuition in music, maths and science for my child though. 👍🏻

I think that having a ninja nanny makes sense. A nanny who works for a super rich family is at risk of being murdered herself. She needs self defence skills rather than attack skills. She needs to know how to protect her charges.

I suppose that the potty lady is making an assessment that the little tot isn't ready yet. Easy money and mumsnet could have answered the super rich lady's question for free.

I wonder if the potty lady could teach my teenage son how to aim correctly?

Oh, having a nanny trained in self-defence does make sense for those kinds of people, I was just saying that it, and those people, are not 'posh' in the normal sense - they're at risk because they're mega-rich (and did that blonde Russian woman who came to the agency saying that a former helper had robbed her actually state there were some links to organised crime?)

I think the toilet training consultant wouldn't be making an independent assessment, though, she'd do what she was told. If Daytime Ballgown Nigerian Mum is paying £1k plus an hour, plus expenses, for her 1 year old to be toilet trained, even if patently not ready, then that's what she'll get, I imagine!

Just as the spivvy portrait painter was laughing all the way to the bank every time he took two stone off Nina, gave her perkier breasts and a less 'Botox-stoned' expression.

Did they say that woman at the start was 34??? She's never 34!

No. Her plastic surgery bits are 34 and since she's more plastic than skin, she becomes 34

I think the toilet training consultant wouldn't be making an independent assessment, though, she'd do what she was told. If Daytime Ballgown Nigerian Mum is paying £1k plus an hour, plus expenses, for her 1 year old to be toilet trained, even if patently not ready, then that's what she'll get, I imagine!

No the potty lady said that the children have to be walking and showing signs of being ready. Then when they brought the little girl in the mum said to her that the potty lady was here to talk about her (baby) going to the toilet "which you don't know anything about" (or something along those lines) I think it was definitely just a chat about when to start the process and what will happen etc or entirely staged for the show also she charges "around" £2000 per child not £1000 per hour!

Have just whatsapped dd to say that if her dh want to put his PhD to good use, he could be a physics tutor to the user rich! 1000k per hour. Holy cow, that's insane.

I agree that surely that baby was way too young for potty training. She hadn't got as far as walking independently yet, poor kid. I did not like the way she treated her poor nanny either. A nanny for a family that loaded should have a job description that includes clearing up after modelling shoots and picking up the shit of 10 dogs. Surely the dogs shoukd have their own nanny.

God, the whole thing is so sexist. It's talked about as if it's only the mothers who are outsourcing parenting, as if it's just their job. Father's are hardly mentioned. They seemed to mention some of the women were very succesful business women, so why on earth is all the responsibility of (outsourcing the) parenting on them.
And the whole thing about wanting an ugly nanny just ugh.

The fact that they had just rocked up to someone's garden gate and dumped a load of shitty smelling bark without so much as a "would you mind?" Says it all wrt how they treat people. No surprise at all the nanny was made to clean that up. They have no respect for anyone.
