This recent story has made national news. It's now on Mike and Juliette (or whatever the show is called).

What a sad state of what our society has become. And no, I'm not talking about what the Nanny did. I'm talking about mother's in our culture HIRING STRANGERS TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN! When did it become ok for parents to be so busy and uninterested...so detached and blaaaasay about their own children that they can't be bothered by them 40 plus hours a week? I don't get it.

Shame on mothers who have the audacity to hand their children over to strangers to raise and then blame the stranger when their children aren't safe. People have children these days and feel the same responsibility for them as they would a parakeet. They drop their children off at daycares the same way they would drop their dog off at Kennelwood for the weekend.

It's SUCH a sad testimony to our country. America is full of mothers, and fathers alike, who simply don't care as much about their own children as they do their jobs.

This particular set of parents surely was well off enough for the mother to stay home and raise her OWN child if they had the money to throw away on some Nanny. Shame on them. There should be an uproar alright. But it should be over this mother and mothers just like her who are the real negligent ones,  yet have the nerve to blame the wrong person for what happens to their children.

MOTHERS, RAISE YOUR OWN CHILDREN.

For those who will balk, let me say in advance: you aren't raising YOUR children, are you?
