Working at spas for the past 13 years sure has been fun, but I’ll tell you what isn’t fun—dealing with you pathetic excuses for mothers who come in for spa treatments that you “need.” Yes, I know that you are sooooo busy getting manicures and facials, shopping, and lunching with your friends. That’s why you are always 20 minutes late to your appointment, spend half the time talking on your cell phone, and then rush out like you actually have somewhere important to be. Hey, I know somewhere important for you to be—AT HOME WITH YOUR FREAKING CHILDREN! Remember them? The little ones who spend the entire day with the au pair whom you treat like crap while you spend the day ignoring your kids and fulfilling your selfish desires. Sure, have an au pair because you work all day, but letting someone else raise your children because you’d rather spend the day at the spa is deplorable.

@42 — sold me. You’re right to rant.
@46: You nailed it!! BRAVO!
@39: Idiots like you are SOOOOOOOOO easy to avoid and ignore.
Does anybody actually factor in the fact that these people have CHOSEN to have children? Most of them did it once and then chose to do it again. I completely understand needing a break away from the children – it’s beneficial to all parties – however, don’t act like they’re some horrible burden that was forced on these women. Most of them (yes, the women and not necessarily the men) would have just absolutely DIED if they were denied the experience of having a child, and then when the novelty and attention wears off they are over it. Sorry, but they aren’t Autumn 2004 Louboutins that you ask the maid to drop off at Medina Value Village. I especially love the arguments that the nannies make that it’s better for the kids to be away from these self-absorbed twits. Here’s an idea: Don’t have kids if you can’t stand the thought of a lifetime commitment, because that’s what they are. For all of you crappy mother apologists – get your tubes tied.
Hahaha, I love all the comments saying that Anon, and the Au Pairs, should be grateful that these women are employing them. These shitty mothers clearly have the better end of the bargain, people. You don’t have to be a spa-worker to run into mothers (and fathers) like this, you just have to have worked some kind of service job in a high-end area.
Actually, @46, I hope you know I was being blatantly SARCASTIC here.
I stand by @39, my statement that YOU, “feminazis should all belong to PETA”, are SOOOOOOOO idiotic it’s easy to ignore and avoid YOU. Do you even have a clue what a Nazi is?? What a shame. Your ignorance is pathetic. Do you fornicate with barnyard animals, too?
@47 (NOT @46): Well said!
@42: If they are breaking the rules, get them kicked out for breaking the rules. Problem solved.
Can’t we agree that there is a difference between a good mom getting a much-deserved treat and a bad mom living a lifestyle of self-indulgence while neglecting her kids; and that the first of these is OK while the second sucks?
The only question is whether I, Anon is referring to a sub-group of the spa customers (which would be OK) or throwing them all in one group (which would not be OK).
How do you know all of these women even have kids? Or of the ones that are mothers, how do you know their kids are young enough to be at home with a sitter rather than at school?
