Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think the Nanny/Assistant ad is the Project Runway lady. I suspect anyone answering that ad will be sorry they did.
I took the kids to the gym with the express purpose of working out. But when I dropped them in the childcare (they were the only kids there), I snuggled down on the pillows they have in the book corner and promptly fell asleep. The nice girls working just let me take an hour long nap while they played with the kids.

Cash, that's probably a very healthy thing for you to do. Yay nap!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
If I were the oldest child in the Nanny Ad family, I'd've picked a college a whole lot further away than just across town.

Old money represent!
I mean it's a crazy job posting but they are offering up to 75k +OT with full health benefits, so if you can deal with the crazy, then it's at least well compensated.
This is true. But that is not a nanny job. Kids that are teenagers and above do not need nannies. Of course, most people who have nannies would not add in animals when they count their family members either. That woman is so not from Old Money.

No way would Laura run an ad like that. And she has six young kids.

Yes, but further away would mean having to do his own laundry and dry cleaning (and who knows what else).

Why would he when his "nanny" will do everything for him if he stays?
