		<description><![CDATA[Celeb or not, we are all moms at the end of the day just trying to do it all well.  Having a nanny or a support system does not negate the fact the working moms don&#039;t suffer from guilt.  I&#039;ve been told that guilt is a useless emotion however, after surveying 700+ moms I&#039;ve learned that it&#039;s the number one factor preventing moms from returning to work.

I&#039;ve also interviewed many-a celebrity like Chris Rock&#039;s wife, Malaak, who gave great advice. She told me that she was put on this earth to be more than a mother and a wife and that she pushes through the guilt.

Well said.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I should say too, that had it not been for our &#039;helpers&#039; my parents wouldn&#039;t have been able to work as hard as they did and had their house paid off in no time and money set aside for a rainy day.

And we never missed a Sunday for church, my mom would leave work if she had to and be there.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My parents were both cops and there were times when they both ended up working the graveyard shifts. We had &#039;helpers&#039; thats what we called them growing up. They helped us get ready for school, combed our hair, made our meals and tidied the house.

When my parents&#039; got the schedules back on track either my mom or dad was home but we always knew where to reach them and my mom would never keep a helper full time, just as needed. When she got promoted and could control her own schedule, she was home always cooking, washing, cleaning and when she had to be at work my dad took over...even tried braiding my hair for school :)

We weren&#039;t rich but with both parents working and family members living far away we had to rely on helpers and there is nothing wrong with that.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tiger Lily- I agree on both counts! I, too, have never read anything about the Obama girls having a nanny, and that Michelle&#039;s mother lives with them to help out.

Also, not all celebs have nannies. I hate that people always assume that celebs have nannines just because they&#039;re rich. For example, Brad Paisley has said that he and Kimberely don&#039;t use nannies, and relie on their family for childcare instead. Nicole Richie and Joel Madden also said after Harlow that they didn&#039;t use nannies at the time (with Sparrow&#039;s arrival, it&#039;s possible that may have changed). Instead, Uncle Benji and both sets of grandparents took care of Harlow when Nicole and Joel needed to do things. :)

Anyway, I also don&#039;t see why people think it&#039;s such a bad thing to have a nanny. If the nanny is basically raising the kid(s), then I can see the issue. However, as long as the parents are still doing most of the parenting themselves, I don&#039;t see the issue. :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jackie- I don&#039;t think the Obama kids have a full time nanny.  I thought the whole reason Michelle&#039;s mom moved in was to help out with childcare?  I know that they have said they&#039;ve used babysitters on occasion.

And, as I had a nanny throughout my childhood, I don&#039;t know why people knock them.  I was always in good hands and my mother was able to have a career.  Everyone benefited.]]></description>

And..here what comes?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think it would be hard because the whole world is watching Mrs Obama and her children. Any mistakes Mrs Obama makes with her children and she will be subject to endless negativity, as seen here on this website with other celebrities. I would hate to have my parenting put under the microscope!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think regardless if they have nannies, being away from their kids (via work) is difficult. At least they have extra help to know their kids are safe while they are not around. And Michelle Obama had her mom watch the kids during the campaign. Maybe now they have nannies and extra security because they are the first-family.]]></description>
