Let’s be honest if most people could afford help, they would absolutely hire help. This is coming from a place of anger because you don’t have access to the same. I promise you no child is going to be negatively affected by the fact that they have a nanny doing the nappy changes and night feeds
I’m not sure if you’re saying my response is coming from a negative place? Support and help whether it’s paid or unpaid is important to every family. I personally believe that the balance has to be there though, parents should have the dominant percentage of responsibility and time with their children. Otherwise, why bother if you’d rather pay someone.

I agree, also interesting that people are very critical of those who hire a nanny but less critical of women who have help from family? Totally get people dislike her but she has money so of course she has a nanny. The idea that women have to do it all themselves and be totally worn out and exhausted when you have the money (or family support!) not to is an extension of the whole thing that you should suffer through birth with no pain relief/c section etc etc etc IMO. And I don't even want kids. Why not make it as easy as you possibly can if you have the means, whether that's a nanny or family around helping. Her body needs to recover too, she needs sleep too, I wish we would take the view that it's a shame that more women don't have access to the same instead of criticising those who can
Absolutely, the everyday folk totally should have the most support paid and unpaid. The more support whilst cooking, cleaning, working, paying bills, trying to maintain relationships and socialisation all whilst raising your children is essential.
However, I hardly see how Krissy would be struggling to do any of the above as her lifestyle is far different to the rest.
I would suspect she just wants to maintain the life she had before kids.
