Now that the internet is the greatest thing there are tons of personal ads everywhere for everything. Whether you want to meet the perfect soul mate, buy a car or trade a pair of shoes for a dishwasher, it can all be done on the internet. 90% of the ads you will find are mostly dull, boring, cliche and lack even an ounce of honesty. But every once in awhile you will come across one that is actually worth the read and if nothing else, will humor you.

Most recently there was an ad posted by a mother who was searching for a nanny where she starts off by describing her 4 children as “a pain in the ass“. She talks about mostly her vices and quirks and includes a few sentences here and there give you a slight idea of what the job will actually consist of. Her rant leaves you wondering if she really wants a nanny and if she does, you know she’s gonna have to have nerves of steel and a great sense of humor. Reminds me of working for Meryl Streep in “The Devil Wears Prada” or the guy on Bravo’s “Flipping Out”.

I’ve never personally had the luxury of placing an ad for a nanny, but I suppose if I did, I would have to be as blunt and honest as the chic writing the ad as well. I mean you don’t want another “The Hand That Rock’s the Cradle” on your hands. Either being the nanny or being the parents that hire one has to be an extremely wiring experience.

I guess what struck most people that created the buzz around this post was the beginning catch with the kids being a pain in the ass statement. I mean how many parents feel this way, and how many parents will actually say it? I don’t go as far to say they are a pain in the ass, lol - but I will say that the weekends their dad doesn’t occupy, feed and bath them, I’m still on duty, at work and praying that my wine box doesn’t run dry.

My kids are a blessing, there’s no doubt about it. I couldn’t imagine life without them at this point. However, if more people told the truth about parenting, rather than judging others for showing the truth of it, then there would be more vasectomy’s That was my husband’s greatest gift he could’ve ever given me on my birthday!! That alone makes him the greatest man that ever lived as far as I’m concerned.

If you have the strength to survive years of regular parenting and somehow still keep your mind in tact, you have the strength to fight in any war or run any country.
