Ann Romney insists single moms should fire personal staffs rather than getting jobs
4/24/2012 8:33 PM Matt Rock -
Ann Romney is continuing her fight for stay-at-home-mom's everywhere today, after a verbal battle with Democratic strategist Hillary Rosen earlier in April led her to defending her work raising five boys. Romney acknowledged that some moms need to go out and find jobs on Friday at a Republican fundraising event in Connecticut, but today, she did offer some solutions for getting around it.
“Parenting is tough, demanding work. Mothers should be able to focus on that, and not have to worry about having other jobs,” Romney explained at a press event today. “I think the obvious solution is to fire half of your household staff. Do you really need five maids, when one or two will suffice? Can you get by with only one nanny for all your kids, instead of having one nanny per child? And when you really think about it, do you need even one butler, let alone two? I love our Butlers -- Geoffrey, Alfred, Jeeves, Stephen Baldwin, Danny Baldwin, that other guy – but we could probably survive without them, if we were poor and only earned seven figures per year like a minimum wage person.”
“Obviously, I'm not advocating that moms fire their whole household staff. That would be insane! But a single mom raising two kids on two or three minimum-wage jobs, that's even more insane. In that sort of situation, you need to make sacrifices. You could easily get rid of half of your personal household staff, or maybe even more, by simply weighing out the necessity of each employee.”
A reporter at the event asked Romney if she realized that most people don't have household staffs. “Oh, right, I'm about to believe that! There's absolutely no way one individual woman could wash dishes, do laundry, clean floors, prepare meals, and everything else that butlers, maids, nannies, gardeners, personal chefs, and pool boys do, all while also raising kids AND working at a job. How absurd! What a dumb-dumb! CLEARLY you don't appreciate what it really means to be a mom!” - Return to Previous Page
