Lauren Goodger has taken to Twitter to slam working parents in a rant against using nannies to look after children.
It all started when she retweeted an article a few days ago about a nanny who was abusing a child left in their care, and she argued that no parents should ever go to work and leave a child with hired help.
She wrote: “This lady needs more than a sentence I feel so uncomfortable watching that I could cry .. put me in a room with this women she needs this treatment done to her I feel f**king ragging ! This is why parents should NOT go to work and leave with a Nanny ! I don’t care what people say”
She then started it up again today, retweeting a Closer Online article about her original tweet.
Lauren wrote: No amount of money or career Is worth leaving my baby with a stranger!NEVER it’s heartbreaking to think mums would still do this even after seeing this!Like I say if u no the nanny well or adult your leaving them with n u trust them thats different story!its not always the case�”.
She then added: “Actually not even wasting my time explaining .. you no exactly what im saying about leaving your baby with someone you trust yes even a nanny that you no well !.. id never leave my baby with someone I hired ! Here’s your prime example why and I’ll NEVER change my view on this ..”
She rounded off the rant with: “I no makes me think what type of mother are you to not agree with me? Who said you can’t work? Who said they can’t put them in nursery? All I’m saying is make sure it’s with a nanny you no them well enough and would trust your life with that person’ coz my child will be my world”.
Many of her followers voiced their disagreement with Lauren's views. One wrote: "Are you actually serious! Who are you to question what type of mother anyone is! I dont agree with your views and i sure as hell wont have you question me as a mother! I work ..and im bloody proud of that!!"
Another added: "It’s good to have a view about the ideal of how you would bring up a child. Sadly life isn’t like that for everyone, as a single parent to 2 young children I had to work to provide for them. Wasn’t born into or had family with money. Both my children have grown up very secure".
Others agreed with Lauren, however, with one writing: "high 5 , im a single mom to a 13 year old girl and only person my daughter has ever gone to is my mom & dads, even now no stranger will be looking after my Sophie. Children are way to precious. X".
