All that plus people seem to forget you get absolutely shit sleep when kids are young. The first year and only 3 hours of sleep at a time due to nursing is tough, but kids wake you up all the time until they hit 4 or older.I disagree that supervising, entertaining, feeding, schooling, bathing/dressing, etc. 5 kids who are all only a few years of age between each other is a one person job, even very attentive mothers get help from their family in those situations. If the kids went to public school? Sure, but they don't. And they all have a ton of extracurricular activities too apparently. I challenge you to adopt one puppy a month for five months, meeting all their physiological needs and also training them. Keeping on top of cleaning up the house, too. Guarantee you will be exhausted very quickly.
I’d argue the biggest need for a nanny for 3-4 or 5 kids isn’t to clean or cook, but to make sure parents are not terribly sleep deprived for years in end. Even taking kids #4 & #3 to school and pre-K is hell if you been up all night with toddler 2 and nursing infant 1. But Kayla was doing home school teaching, not dropping kids off at school.
I’m not sure how the fuck one would balance that homeschool stuff plus caring for the younger children unless Nick did night duty or there was a nanny to help. This is why humans did multi-generational homes for thousands of years. It’s probably why Kayla and Nick had such involvement in their church and lived near Kayla’s family - extra childcare help.
BUT Kayla’s family and the church became problems when Nick wanted to fuck other chicks, stay drunk and do drugs. I think he convinced her the solution was the polycule life. If Nick wanted to banish the additional childcare help of family and church, then it needed replaced with something else. Maybe the nanny worked for awhile but once she noped out they were in a tight spot. No decent Nanny was going to be okay with the obvious substance abuse and filth, so that leaves finding another degenerate swinger couple or new step-mommies/ sister wives.
What boggles my mind is that all this all implodes when the youngest is six. They’ve now gotten over the hardest, most work intensive years, with all the kids.
I still can’t understand why Nick and Kayla did all the homeschool shit. The kids saw more degenerate shit in their home than they’d manage to see in public school. Nick is okay with porn and sexual degeneracy of all types, so he can’t worry about the LGBTQ shit in schools. He doesn’t actually believe in Christianity, or at least not what any church in Spicer is teaching, so it’s not for religious reasons. Looking at the public schools in that area - it’s all white. It’s white and rural, his kids have zero worry about cultural diversity issues.
Years ago I just assumed they homeschooled because they were hardcore Christian conservative trad types - but they aren’t, not at all.
It makes me wonder if they homeschooled for the reason some other weird degen creeps do - to avoid their kids being around lots of mandated reporters. The church school only relented and reported them after shit was FUBAR. A public school might have reported shit years ago. Public school is specifically supposed to look for the dirty clothes, abnormal behavior and kids truancy/ constantly showing up late as pointing to problems at home.
For all Nick’s moaning about driving kids places I’d bet the kids regularly missed classes and showed up late a lot. You’ll get a pass on that at home school “capsules”. and voluntary church programs, but not public schools. I’ve known of white trash that “home school” only because getting kids dressed and to school at 7 am 5 days a week is too much for them. The school gets involved because the kids miss a lot of days, show up late constantly and aren’t dressed appropriately so they decided public schools are evil and they will home school (aka let their kids watch tablets all day while mom smokes meth).
The church or home school peeps got the point saying Nick couldn’t teach one class a week. I figure that would have been the point a public school would have already been making reports to CPS, but the church or local peeps kept trying to sweep it up until the public spectacle hit Mach 5.
