A Lot of Things Are Easy if You Have Enough Hired Help

Grrrrrrr. I'm not really a huge Julia Roberts fan. In fact, I don't even like romantic comedies very much, which doesn't exactly bode well for Julia in my book, but today my buddy Becky sent me this article about Julia Robert's being pregnant with her third child. According to ExtraTV.com, Roberts said that she had "loved every second" of her middle of the night feedings and diaper changes.

As a parent of twins myself, I call shenanigans.

The first three months of having twins are like the opposite of a sensory deprivation tank. It is constant screaming and poop. If you are nursing, sleep isn't even an option. I remember sleeping an average of two hours a night. And those two hours were never in a row.

Oh. Wait. I guess this wouldn't be a factor if I had a night nurse and one or two full time nannies. Oh yeah, and she gets to go places and make movies. She also probably has a cleaning service and a chef. Right, and a personal trainer. 

So my question is this: Did she just say those things because it isn't very classy to tell the media that having infant twins totally blows goats? Or was she serious? If you can afford a staff is it all puppies and ice cream with Hazel and Finn?

Well, if you can believe what she tells Oprah on national television (cough), they don't even hire anyone to scrub their toilets. But she also said this while pregnant. I can't imagine "loving every minute" without any help whatsoever.
