29 Really Entitled And Delusional Parents Who Had The Nerves To Post These Nanny Job Ads That Are Truly Horrible

Some people do not recognize a fair wage when they see one, and these nanny job ads prove it fast.

Across these posts, parents ask for full-time childcare, live-in help, housework, and even extra errands, while offering pay that barely makes sense. The result is a collection of listings that are equal parts frustrating and absurd, especially for anyone who has ever worked in childcare.

Scroll through the worst of them, because the entitlement gets more unbelievable with every post.

Even the comments know this is ridiculous.

Some of these parents want luxury service on a bargain-bin budget.

Imagine standing in line and someone going in straight or paying for a product or service, and someone wants to get it free of charge. Don’t even bother asking if it's fair, because, in all sincerity, it isn’t!

So many parents can be truly patronizing, and they don't see nannying as a genuine job, despite the fact that a large number of them require specialized care and multiple roles in one.

For another “pay me or don’t” family mess, read about a negligent cousin’s pet-sitting vet visit and the fight over whether to pay.
