Kill me now.

Tricia tells Krisin she (Tricia) can’t deal with Lucy right now.

Commercial.

Back at the party, where Tricia is saying she doesn’t want to listen to a story that goes on for 20 minutes.

Kristin takes Lucy outside and tells her to knock it off, that BH moms need to know they’re the boss. News flash – every boss needs to know they’re the boss.  She says Lucy has “overbearing energy” and suggests she doesn’t share “everything that’s going on in yuor life”.  Lucy claims she can be the nanny Tricia needs, and then goes on to tell Kristin that Lucy is going to be part of some family band.

Now we see Kristin taking care of the kid while Lucy hangs out at the party. 

Let’s recap what Lucy has been doing throughout this entire ep:

This

Blah blah dead grandmother blah

And this

Blather olives blather dad

Also, this

Get your hand off me or I’ll break every bone in it.

Same for the rest of the family: 

 Who the f-ck are you?

Yet more of this

Yada yada nonsense yada

And to cap it off,

It’s just like being Cinderella!

How did everyone react?  I took a poll:

I want to hear THIS.

 

 I wish you were a robot so I could TURN THAT DAMNED MOUTH OFF!

 

Don’t you know your place?

 

Yes, Mr. Wooster, I pride myself on being discreet and unobtrusive.  So unlike that common Lucy git.

 

Tricia also shares that she needs a certain level of professionalism (that Lucy clearly doesn’t have), and observes Kristin did all the nannying at the party.  Tricia goes on to say she isn’t ready to fire Lucy yet, but is “open to meeting someone else”.

Let’s take a look at Kristin’s little agency:

Lil Drunky (sadly, not in this week’s ep).  No experience or qualifications, can’t make pasta, likes to drink.  A lot.

Amber.  Eh.

Lucy.  Has now failed with 2 families in 3 weeks.  Unprofessional, shocking disrespect for employers and boundaries, unemployable.

Kristin herself.  Also drinks.  A lot.  Hungover (I still believe it wasn’t “food poisoning”).  Ignores boys while nannying.  Clearly desperate to keep her job.  Won’t.

    Great recap! But I have to respectfully disagree with you regarding the wedding.

    Ari was painted like a kewpie doll, her face so full of filler that she could hardly move her mouth to speak. The gown was so tight she had to hobble up the aisle – and how about that sequined reception “dress”?! It barely covered her hoo-ha as she writhed around the dance floor, and would have been tacky in Vegas, let alone on the blushing bride. The sight of the groom (1) expressing his “heartfelt” love by carefully reading the words, and (2) reading them from an iPad at the altar – was sheer comedy. It was like a skit and a laugh track would have enhanced the entire event.

    Oh well … it is what it is …

    How is Amanda paying her way out in BH if she has no job?

    Glad Justin got the job with the Faulk’s. It seems like an awesome fit for both parties.

    Lucy is extremely annoying. Wonder how she justifies her $40 an hour to families.

    Do these nannies have experience in first aid training, cpr etc?

    Good question, labowner, about the nannies’ qualifications in CPR, first aid, etc. I’m sure Lucy would just try to talk a drowned child into spitting out water and waking up.

    I wonder about the “qualifications” of these nannies too.

    Personally, if I had the means and need to hire a nanny, I would hire a middle-aged woman with children of her own and years of real parenting experience under her belt, not some young woman with some babysitting experience but little else in terms of qualifications, but that is me.

    Surly Girl – It was extremely disappointing to read your baseless, senseless comment. Our Wedding was amazing, my husband and little girl were spectacular, I’ve never touched filler in my life and my reception dress is designer. I suggest you swallow your sour grapes and get over your jealousy – it is of course, the ugliest trait of all.

    Thank you TVgasm for portraying our Wedding as it was – lovely and classy – unlike some of those who leave their uneducated comments on this page.

    Margaret– I totally understand your comment (about hiring a middle-aged nanny who’s been a parent), but I would like to point out that there are young nannies who are qualified. I have a BA in Early Education and worked in child care for several years before entering the nanny world. I don’t consider myself young anymore (I’m 30), but I’m also not middle-aged. And I’ve been with my family for over 2 years now and, with a new baby coming, it’s looking like I’ll be around for 5+ more!

    TVgasm–I’m loving these recaps (even though I watch)! I don’t always agree with you, but I appreciate your perspective.

    Ariane–I agree that your wedding was lovely. I was relieved that Amber showed up and enjoyed being with your beautiful daughter.

    Never touch filler in her life? Ha that is almost as good as Heather’s “I’m 98% real” crap.

    Ariane I absolutely LOVED your reception dress, you rocked it! And its not like you were wearing that down the aisle, that was the fun dress and it served that purpose perfectly! But of course there will always be people not liking this or that. You got a seal of approval from the recapper and usually they are the harsh ones so I think thats what you should be happy about!

    It would be neat if you continued to post on this site and whatnot too :)

    Damn I’m late to the party. Damn damn damn. I’ve been trying to catch up on episodes.

    I actually like Amber and Justin. Kristen is pure evil. Lucy is clueless. And sorry, Ari, but NOT buying the “no filler” thing. Nothing wrong with a little help as we age, especially in YOUR town. I think it’s mandatory.
