Yes, people, including children, are being disappeared to concentration camps but the real victims are the white suburban moms privileged enough to offload their snot nosed brats to other people now being forced to take care of their spawn themselves. Those are the people we should feel bad for, surely.

    The personal nanny thing is something I don’t understand. But I’m lucky enough to be able to have my kids go to a nice daycare in town. The dynamic of having a nanny watching the kids in your home really gives “the help” vibes for obvious reasons. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone talk about their nanny without it giving off bad vibes. Well off enough to employ a whole person to watch your kids, but not well off enough to have someone not work and do the job themselves. I think about that episode of Atlanta about the white family who has the nanny sometimes and have to imagine that’s what its like.

      It was a very awkward moment, the twenty seconds or so after she complained about no nanny. I just sort of looked at her face to face, and said ‘have a nice day’ and left.

      It’s absolutely fucked, having a stranger come to your home, and rear your children for you. For whatever reason.
