So here we have a stay at home mom who has 3 children, 1 of which is in school and has 2 nannies? Is this mom physically unable to care for her own children? I can see kids being difficult and needing a second set of hands sometimes but these kids take naps, play alone for over 30 minutes and watch TV for over an hour. Is there a father in this family? If so, it seems as if the mom should be able to run her vital errands for 2 hours every night after he comes home.

This is only my opinion. And it is my opinion that if a woman wants to stay at home with her children, that is exactly what she should be doing, rather than pawning them off on someone else.

I agree Ellen. Nothing juicy. Read the one after this one...has more drama involved.

By the way, what ever happened to Rebecca's weekly columns? MPP...is she still a guest writer for this website?

Lisa L.,

I had assumed Rebecca was taking a short break. I am not sure if she is going to continue writing... maybe she will see your question and answer it herself. ;-)

Regarding Rebecca, I hope some of the negative comments did not deter her from submitting writing on here.
