Gardner Quad Squad: Part 18

[lovethispage]

I'm confused. Two stay at home parents are getting a nanny? Isn't that a little ridiculous?

Hey Pinky, you’re back. I haven’t read on here in awhile...I didn’t hear about the nanny...

[lovethispage]

Again... can someone copy and paste the rules...

[BlahBlahBlah]

Maybe the “nanny” is actually hired in home therapists to get the girls caught up.

Tyson and Ashley are just missing the entire point of why the KADs (and yes, it’s the fans not the haters!) are giving them pushback on their lastest choices.

Tyson and Ashley made a big deal about wanting to spend more time with the girls, they don’t have time for daily vlogs, they want time away from the camera. But then they turn around and do lots of (solo) live feeds, make up videos and paid sponsorship videos. No videos of the girls. Which is fine, but just doesn’t line up with what story they fed the fans. The fans see they have time for all these things that make them money, but not time to do regular videos of the girls the fans enjoy. Now it’s just flat out trying to sell them stuff.

Their fans have always been generous sending gifts and supporting their businesses because they felt like they were helping a couple be able to stay home with their quads. But now they see lots of vacations, date nights and now a nanny. Now the KADS are going to wonder why am I sending them money to spend time away from their kids when the whole plea to support them and now giving up vlogging was supposedly for T and A to be with the girls more.

Alllll their businesses rely on people feeling like they know them and have a desire to support them. If they stop vlogging, that takes away the attachment people feel toward the girls and they will be less likely to waste their money on their products.

The Busby quads have better numbers with their vlogs and they post way, way less.

Today’s fake BS , cry fest vlog has brought out some of our oldest snarkers here! I’m loving it, cmon sisters we need to be heard come out of hibernation, we need everyone especially the Greedners to read the real truth for the big whine fest today!

Yes! It seems they have made so much money from all their "followers" interest in their children's well being that they now don't have time for the very children that everyone supported? Their tastes and needs have grown very expensive (according to what they have shown in the vlogs).

Three IS a tough age! Most parents feel it's harder than the "twos." I would think it would be especially tough with 4 of them given they seem to have been raised in a "have whatever you want/do whatever you want/you're only young once" parenting style.

I'm curious how ONE nanny can handle 4 girls when TWO of them couldn't? Ashley is rarely alone with them (if ever), but she's going to pay one person to be? A decent nanny for 4 children that age would not be cheap. It will run them at least $20 an hour for someone qualified. I hope they don't scrimp. This must a SUPERNANNY! Maybe Jo is coming? New show opportunity?

It really is a tough age, and I can believe it takes an hour to get them all ready to go. It seemed to take forever with my two, many years ago. It is extremely time-consuming, because it is the age kids are sort-of doing things for themselves, often slowly and badly, and of course they don't necessarily want to get ready when Mum and Dad want them to.

All that said, that is what childcare is, and with two parents, that's not a bad ratio.

However, it might be wonderful for the children if they get a good nanny and if Ashley and Tyson give her space to take care of the kids without parental hovering and distracting the kids. If I were that nanny I would want the parents out of the way a lot at first while I got to know the children and got a routine going. If the parents are going to be around all the time, the kids will naturally look to them for a reason not to do what the nanny says.

I guess a nanny would be cheaper than daycare for four, but if they aren't hurting for money, daycare might be better for the children as it would get them used to other children and a routine away from home, and would prepare them for school.

I had a thought about how seriously Ashley and Tyson take themselves, and how they said in their "Let's talk" vlog that they hope the KADs love them, too, as well as the girls: Kate Gosselin got to thinking it was all about her, too. My theory is it's having TLC's cameras (and in the Gardners' case, their own cameras) in the house all the time, every day, with questions about the children so that even if the TLC camera is on the children (Gosselins or Gardners) the questions are to the parents so they are getting attention all day every day. It would be extremely weird to have cameramen/women in the house all day, with someone asking you questions, and it is no surprise to me that it would change people.

I see another big problem with these idiots hiring a nanny ...

They're just going to hire some college aged girl who can come by and watch them play. Are they going to hire a professional nanny? No way. I live in Utah and our nanny pool is full of amazing college aged kids who do a great job keeping your kids alive and well. But they don't potty train or teach caged children how to function outside of the cage.

What they need is a nanny for themselves. They need someone to go in that mess of a house and show them how to wake up before 9am, get ready, have a routine, and follow-through on key tasks. It's called being an adult. These girls will never thrive without adult parents who know how to run bedtime, morning routines, and have clear and immediate consequences. A "nanny" isn't going to help that. You're wasting your money Trash and Bison, think again.

[Krouton]

Why do 2 stay at home parents need a nanny? Are they going to sit on the couch and watch the nanny raise them? The nanny must've helped with the potty training. They probably won't let her discipline them

[DoodleBop2]

An actually professionally trained Nanny will tell them pretty quickly the children need to be evaluated for developmental delays.

So if they do get a teenager with no education in child development the kids will only continue to decline.

Excellent post! I just wonder what the nanny will think about quiet time in caged cribs ?

[AuntieEm]

Hiring a 'nanny' means this person would be with the girls most of the time. God knows how old or qualified they will be but the Greedners will use the word 'nanny' because it sounds like something rich people would have, in their minds. More fakeness. Anyway, the KADS will have even less access to the durls with a nanny in place, and they know it. There is no way the nanny will be comfortable being shown constantly in the vlogs and by definition a nanny will be with the durls all the time.
Assley and Tyson, the KADS dont want to see YOU. Bahahahahaaaaaaa. this whole thing cracks me up.

[BlahBlahBlah]

I’m still cracking up that Tyson and Ashley thought the KADs would be cool with dropping the quads from vlogs and just focusing on T and A. Imagine! A whole channel dedicated to the songs Tyson is listening to in the car and his adventures thru the car wash! Add in Ashley’s make up routine everyday and who could ask for anything more?

Cutting down on vlogging was really “you’re only going to see our girls once a week but us six times a week!” I think they are a little jealous the girls are the stars of the Quad Squad channel.

[DoodleBop2]

They think they're on Downton Abbey and the children will be seen and not heard and only have to see their kids 1 hour before dinner. You're not that special and neither of you are Ladies.

[4kkids]

They're awful quite on sm today. Their feelings much still be hurt. "Come on guys, we thought you'd be proud of us"
They are beyond delusional.
Thinking they may be jealous of all of us and how we are so much smarter than them! We saw through their charades.

[Premmie101]

Ok. Can someone tell me why they need a nanny? They are two stay at home individuals. They could enroll them in day care and have two go two days a week and the other two go the other two days. Withh two home, one parent could take each remaining girl on a special day. Even if it's to the park or library (free things to do).

What telling us you're getting a nanny shows is: you'd rather put on make up than be a parent. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

I’ve thought for quite some time a nanny was not far away. I could be way off base here but I’m wondering if Trashley has more work trips coming up and if the family have finally put their foot down. We know they’re nothing but liars so there has to be an ulterior motive

[Wgchick22]

How come Ashley can get all dolled up for her promo videos but she can’t for her “poor me” video?

She has to look at pathetic and pitiful as possible. It's like when women who'd never go out of the house without their hair and make up done suddenly can't wash for days before their child support case hearing. This is practically the same thing since without the KAD they'd be living at her parent's house.

I made it through some of their vlog. Did you guys know if you click those 3 little dots on the right of youtube you can actually read a transcript and turn the sound down instead?

OMG such drama. Ashley crying and garnering sympathy from around the world for their "first world problems." Seriously?

So, their story is that they worked so hard last year that they almost burnt out and had to take an abrupt and immediate (over a month long) break? This is why the sudden withdrawal.

Does this add up to you guys? First, they took how many weekly date nights last year? How many trips? Poor babies had to fly to see Ellen and go to Disneyland. Ashley had how many girls/spa days? Poor Dear Family had a whole week in Aulani (a $800 a night resort) too (with 2 helpers for the children). Their family & friends work almost continuously to relieve them, show up for them, work for them. Ashley has rarely been alone with her own kids - she has Madison, Christi, Amanda, her parents, Tyson's mother - Tyson's Aunt Becca, all Tysons brothers and hired help! A housekeeper 3 times a week? A hairstylist to do the girls hair? They eat out instead of cook. When they do eat at home it's off paper plates so no dishes to do. Organizers to help them organize all their possessions? SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO CARRY HER APPLIANCES OUT OF THE PANTRY! These parents have massive support, in fact, more help than any two parents (who both STAY HOME) than I've ever seen. Now they need a Nanny?

Maybe Tyson wants the nanny?

Because if she was all dolled up she wouldn't look quite as pitiful.

Without makeup, she looks tired and washed out and that gets all those “oh you poor thing it's so hard to raise four-four three-year-olds” comments.

[utahmom]

Yuk -- the poor new nanny with Chester the Molester leering all over her. Makes my skin crawl thinking about it.

[BlahBlahBlah]

Also, I’m doubting they are hiring a real, professional nanny. They are probably having some young homeschooled girl as more of a mothers helper. Hopefully they don’t pay her in lipsense and “hugs and kisses from the cutest kids ever!” <——- I’ve actually seen that in childcare ads.

I worked as a professional nanny for almost a decade and let me tell you, the best nannies will run far away from that job. Working for work at home Parents was not a favorite and working for two stay at home parents? Most career nannies would pass. Once I got established and had experience I could be choosy and I chose well. This job would have me swiping left with a quickness.
