She claimed she'd face undue hardship because it's during the school week.

What?

She's got a husband. I bet she still has a nanny - she mentioned having one in her book. She's got two brothers that aren't going to be testifying at the same time.

The kids will be in school for 8 hours, and literally any one of those people could watch her kids for the remaining time. Normal people have to deal with this all the time.

She's literally using her own children as a shield for her lies, those poor kids.

[–] RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world 134 points 1 year ago (4 children)

She learned it from her father.

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder if she also looks at her children the way her father looks at her.

[–] AFaithfulNihilist@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

She definitely has a thing for the puer aeternus, maybe she's just making sure they never grow up.

Who learnt it from his father. The shit Apple didn’t fall far from the shit tree.

Who learned it from his father.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

His father's father. His father's father's father. His father's father's father's father.

None of these people ever faced any actual hardship in their entire entitled lives.

[–] ShadowRam@kbin.social 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I bet she gets up early and makes their lunches for them.

I bet the Pope shits in the woods, too. ;)

[–] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

How do you think he got to be pope

She probably hand bakes cupcakes for the parent teacher conference, and writes each teacher’s name in icing using a plastic bag with a hole cut in it.

[–] PeleSpirit@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

she mentioned having one in her book

You read her book? Seriously, thank you for taking one for the team. How bad was it?

[–] flipht@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

No, I read one of the many ridicule reviews that are quotes pieces. In this quote, she said that most of the good pics she has of her kids came from the nanny during the day.

[–] Toggol@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

I haven't read the article, so I'll continue to assume the baby sitter was intended for Jared.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Although, would you want those two Trump brothers watching your children?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

They probably don't go to school, rich kids either get shipped off to a live in school or are taught in house by a nanny of sorts.
