I love melissa wood health. It’s more of a mix of yoga and Pilates but there’s so much to choose from in terms of length, intensity, style, etc. And I got more results than with more classic yoga styles even though I do shorter workouts. melissawoodhealth.com/ |

What's the reason they are doing this? No interest in birth control? They originally discussed having a large family? Large families used to be very common I know - but no matter how big your NY apartment is - an entire floor, a duplex, 10,000 sf, it ain't big enough for that many people. Did I read their nannies live in the building or nearby? I get they are "New Yorkers" and have a place in the Hamptons, but geez. I went down the reddit rabbit hole after the shooting and read what was supposed to be an ad for a new nanny. It could have been fake but that's an easy advertisement to find. I'll see if I can still find it. It was hilarious (no pun intended) because it was so specific.

yes, chalet, please find it and post it!!
and yeah, having that many kids regardless of how much money you have is insane. and i say that as one of 5 kids, and yes my parents were insane and irresponsible lol but the older i get and the more i'm surrounded by friends raising kids, the more convinced of this i am.
modern life, modern prices, but mostly, modern parenting and child rearing needs, and the needs of kids themselves these days, are not built for large families. and maybe they never were and back then people just didn't give a shit or they had more kids as insurance in case some of them died along the way.
ETA: ok, i'm procrastinating this morning and don't want to work but here it is, from april 2021 i think, so they were still in the hamptons full time. peppered with commentary from whoever wrote the reddit post but you get the gist of it:

well, they give you a place to live but only when you work. you work only 12 days a month but can't have another job.
the list of demands is crazy.

I also saw one that had a Co-sleeping component- no knowing if it was the baldwins but it was for a lot of kids.

what does that even mean? i have a feeling that additional money is nothing otherwise they would have increase the salary and/or included health insurance. especially if you only work 12 days but are expected to sit on your ass the other 18 days of the month in case they need you.

^ Probably have to get their own coverage through ACA and get reimbursed for the cost. And this thing about housing, where are they supposed to live while not working? They would still have to pay full rent elsewhere even if they're only staying there part-time. What a deal.

That list of expectations is insane, & that pay is shit, especially when they expect the nannies to be on call all the time (I bet those "days off" are in reality few & far between). And really, if they expect the nannies to have a separate living space on their days off (what could they afford on that salary in NYC?) But wait, if they're essentially on call on their days off, then they really aren't off, so that is absolutely ridiculous anyway.
Regardless, there is no amount of money that would ever make me take a job working for either one of them.

I was looking at the site that it appeared on and there are current ads for nannies in NY and they have set hours, mon-Fri, only *two* children & are C$80/90 per annum….

Bonus if you get a roommate since you'll only be home 2.5 weeks a month. Re: the salary, I think $75k is reasonable since I read the Baldwins have 2 nannies on a shift. |

Yeah but what about the Co-sleeping? Doesn’t that mean 24 hour duties? |
