Take on the nanny state




Having spent the morning at one of NYC fine museums up on 83rd street. What this basically means is that I'm the only man within a 50 block radius. In New York City especially on the upper west and east sides there are two types of kids. Bratty ones whose moms are chauffeured around in luxury cars and refer to everybody who works for them l as 'dear'. These kids have never seen the inside of a subway, never wait in line and will feel a sense of entitlement way before they hit the age of ten. But money buys just about anything and at least the kid's are cared for because the other kids at these museums might as well be there alone
The other kids are a bit less spoiled and are carted around by nannies who tend to be gigantic Caribbean women who seem to have absolutely no desire to actually be there. These kids are afforded a lot and their parents work hard to provide for them but sadly probably have no idea what happens to their kids between the hours of 8AM and 6:30PM. It is amazing how many of these nannies you'll see at a museum like this and then how many of them will not out their cell-phones down for a single second.
I saw nannies with both buds of their ipod headphones planted in their ears, ones who didn't even notice that the kid they are responsible for fell down some stairs and other ones who spend the entire time complaining to other nannies.
Their disregard for the job they are paid to do and the human life they are paid to care for is beyond sickening
