I did not because I forget nannies exist. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 10:53
I hadn't seen anyone assuming it was the nanny. I did see some people calling it an example of the "patriarchy" - IrishStephen Mar 13, 07:58
I assumed because she was dressed normal and a pony tail and he was in a business suit - she came skidding around the corner like her job depended on - Epiphany Mar 13, 07:48
I was more focused on how she pulled the baby in that seat thing while straight up dragging the other kid out so fast. -- nm - MDH Mar 13, 07:40
If people bothered to actually look at the kids they look half-Asian. -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 07:29 8
- My friend's excuse is that watching it on her phone she couldn't make out the kids were half Asian and she assumed nanny. -- (edited) - LMS Mar 13, 07:46

    - that was the BEST -- nm - JenBro Mar 13, 07:47
    - When the baby appeared you know he/she was like "I've finally made it in here!" -- nm - MDH Mar 13, 07:41 2
      - you could totally tell it was a life goal of the baby. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 07:43 1

Really? When it first broke, I heard people saying things about the mother. Period. -- (edited) - Spawn Mar 13, 07:29
We were talking about this in the office on Friday. At least a handful of folks who consider themselves very progressive got a tad uncomfortable. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Mar 13, 07:26 2
- I'm guilty of this. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 07:27 1
