Can J Lo and Marc Last Without a Nanny?

Last week we heard that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony had dumped their nanny and are planning on raising their twins all on their own. We couldn't believe that the busy celebrity couple were going to balance their family and career without help, but yesterday Marc insisted that they have to take baby shifts because there's no permanent babysitter around. They probably have lots of friends and family to help them out, but tell us — do you think J Lo and Marc can last without a nanny?

    I don't buy it for a second. Perhaps they are splitting hairs about the difference between a nanny and child care provider and sitter.

    I also read from another source on this story that Marc claims to be "learning all the time", which I found funny. These aren't his first kids. He's sperminated two other women with three kids between them. How can this be a learning experience?

    I'm not buying it. Maybe "baby shift" really means "the one who gets to boss the nanny around until it's the other one's turn."

    What a bunch of crap. They can both afford to halt any non-urgent projects, like her lame movie career and her stinky perfume productions take care of their kids. They went through too much trouble to conceive to start bragging know that they don't have the time to take care of their kids. GIVE.ME.A.BREAK!!

    If people actually believe that Jo-ho is raising those kids on her own needs a reality check. Jenny working the block is full of it!!!

    I said yes, because I think Jennifer and Marc can pull it off, it's really great that they are willing to do that and be up front and center with their kids, that's what 'parenting' is all about. They can do it, they are loving and responsible.

    It's Jennifer "Diva" Lopez. She must have help. I don't care what they say, she and Marc aren't taking care of those kids alone

    I think it is possible. A babysitter and a nanny are two different things in my opinion. They will definitely need help because of their schedules, just not sure how much.

    Please. Do they think we are idiots or something? She's been clearly working out and taking GREAT care of herself. And that's just the obvious stuff, who knows what's going on in Jennifer's career. I don't buy the no-nannies story for a second. They have plenty of help around the house (maids, cooks, night nurses for the babies, etc.).

    Why lie, why make yourselves look superior to other families? We all know that regular women don't look so slim, glamorous and fresh three months after giving birth. It's one of those Hollywood lies that I hate, like everyone just being NATURALLY gorgeous and perfect...

    I think all they mean is that they don't have anyone living with them.
    It is impossible to say that they are both going to be working full time and caring for those kids full time. They will have to have help during the day when they are working - and there is nothing wrong with that.
    Many parents use day care.

    JLo has fake eyelashes made out of mink. You bet your azz she's not changing diapers. And didn't Marc skip out on his ex when she had two babies?

    Um, I so dislike them.

    I don't know whether to believe this or not, but it is possible not to have a nanny and use help only during the day. Many parents do that. Hopefully it is true, they should really enjoy their twins. And I am hoping Marc is also a responsible father to his other three children.

    Having twins must be crazy and on top of being a celeb? They must have help of some kind even if they don't classify them as a "nanny".

    I heard that two of their nannies quit and now they have to do it themselves. She also asked her sister come over and baby sit. I don't believe it at all. I've always hated Jlo and liked Marc. She's such a diva.

    I put no, but not for that reason. Probably because J-Lo is so in love with herself that she wouldn't take care of her own children!

    This is getting ridiculous.
    People every single day (single and married) raise children without the help of a nanny and just because J.Lo and Marc Anthony are means they are Gods gift to earth!!!!? It bothers me so much when a celebrity or ordinary people think that not having a "nanny" around makes the fabulous parents ..it doesn't, so stopppppppp.
    wow, now that that is out, haha. MUCH BETTER

    Everyone KNOWS she is NOT going to change diapers herself. She won't even breast feed for God's sake! They don't have a nanny right this second because she quit, but they'll find someone soon who either really needs the money or doesn't know what they're getting into...

    With all their friends, family, publicists, agents, lawyers, cleaning service people, food service people, songwriters (it takes 12 people to write a JLo tune, right?), musicians, managers, hangers-on, hair people, stylists, make up people, I think they'll be fine. Smiling

    PS: Romes, I'm with you. I don't get the appeal of her to Marc. I love Marc Anthony. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him...but she's just so self-centered and selfish and self-obsessed!

    THANK YOU Romydown! I don't get why this is such a big deal. I gave birth to twins when my son was 23 months old. I managed to take care of him and the twins while balancing a full-time job at a time when my husband's job required him to work a minimum of 65 hours a week. In addition, my twins were on totally opposite schedules no matter what I trie. I breastfed them until they were a year old and could take cow's milk. I never saw myself as somehow worthy of a pat on the back- I have always believed that it was what I was EXPECTED to do as a responsible mother. My mother-in-law watched the kids while I worked, but otherwise I did it without the benefit of a baby nurse, a nanny, or anyone else except the rare times my husband was home in the evenings or on weekends. Was it hard? Absolutely. Would I do it over again? Absolutely!! These two don't have to attend to a set job schedule, have enough money to take a few years off to devote all their time to their children, and have plenty of options the rest of us don't have. I simply cannot put them on a pedastal for doing what many of the rest of us do every single day- take care of our kids without an army of others to cook, clean, change diapers, arrange schedules, drive to doctor's appointments and baseball games, or any of the myriad other responsibilities that come with parenting. If they went through fertility treatments to have these babies, that is even more reason why they should do what many of us would love to have done given the financial resources- put the careers on hold and cherish every moment.

    If normal families can do it they can too. I'm sure they have family that would help and they both have enough money that they don't have to work for a year or two outside of the home at the same time.

    Of course they can make it happen, but I know that they'll probably have another nanny in no time! Twins are just too stressful if they plan on keeping up with their careers.

    i find it hard to believe that they don't have help right now - since they are so busy with their careers, but i guess if that's their claim then we don't have any way to really dispute it. i just think that it's almost unreasonable to think that they can do it w/o a nanny. who knows...

    I'm not buying this story at all. They might call their help au-pair or baby nurse or baby sitter instead of nanny but there is no way that a diva like Jennifer is changing diapers and getting up every 2 hours to feed the babies. This whole superior attitude is so annoying - do they really think that this will gain them any admirers? They are so transparent

    Tom Cruise also said he didn't have a nanny for his older children. Then the nanny wrote a book. Obviously celebrity Scientologists feel the need to lie about having help.

    Spare me! JLo couldn't even put her own shoes on by herself before (she had people to dress her!) but now she wants us to believe she is taking care of 2 babies all by herself while running all over the world with her self-absorbed career?! Never! If they said they don't have "a" nanny, its probably because they actually have "4" nannies~~2 for each baby! Or they have people doing every single other thing that could possibly be done for them so that all they have left to do themselves is change diapers and feed the babies so that they can brag about doing that themselves. Whatever. I'm not impressed. I'd be more impressed to see her actually looking haggered while taking the babies to the grocery store and the park by herself. But I bet that never happens!

    No nanny or manny: singular or plural, lol. Jenn & Marc reportedly had a nanny, and then decided they wanted to be their babies' primary care-givers. They can afford to hire other staff to tend to whatever else is needed: cooking, cutting the grass, laundry, housekeeping, etc. It doesn't mean they will never have, or haven't had, a babysitter for a couple of hours. That's very different from a 24/7 "nanny" and more personal, isn't it? The set-up sounds sincere and workable. It's not rocket science.
