Mary- While that may have worked for your family, that doesn’t work for every family. I’m guessing your mother was a stay-at-home mom, but in many familes, both parents work, and thus it’s neccesary to have childcare.

A celeb having a nanny is no different than us “normal” people taking our kids to daycare (unless they basically let the nanny do all the parenting, that is). Also, when you think of it, daycare is not a feasible option for most celebs.

Courtney – just because their hair color now is dark doesn’t mean that they weren’t born with blonde hair. The kids in my family (well most of the kids) are born with blonde hair, then it normally turns darker over the years until it’s brown.

In this picture I see a lot of Gwen in Zuma and Gavin in Kingston. Both are adorable!

I don’t see the nanny being a problem. My parents both worked out of town when I was little, and we are still in touch with the woman considered to be our ‘ nanny.’ In fact, she is spending Christmas with us, and the ‘ kids’ in this family are 30, 25, and 21

Gwen should have 2 nannies, she looks exhausted, and if she was a New Yorker she would have just stayed home and rested and let the nannies take the children out In these hard economic times, be glad the nannies have their jobs and are working The new baby is probably quite a handful both of the boys are adorable.

my guess the nanny is there to help because of the paparazzi being around… an alternative to a bodyguard.

You can tell the paps were pretty close.

so cute..

i saw their family at the airport recently and kingston was running ahead, so full of energy just like any 2 year old. gwen is much more petite that i realized.
and BTW the article should read: “accompanied by HOT husband Gavin…”

They are so cute! But personally, I don’t think there is a need for a nanny ever at all! I grew up with 7 kids in my family, and guess what, no nanny, just a mom and a dad! I love this family though!
