While Mr and Mrs X in the Nanny Diaries is truly pathetic, their son Grayer is sympathetic.

“There are people in this home- human beings- drowning in their desire for you to look them in the eye. You made this family. And all you have to do is show up and like them. It's called 're-la-ting.' So get over whatever totally-absent-buying-your affection parenting that you received and get here, man- because this is your LIFE and you're just pissing it away!”

I relate my personal experiences with Grayer a lot
Growing up as a child, my parents are either too busy
that they were indulging in their own minds about marriage and work.
Ever since I was three, my parents seldom reach me in my room and she would give a cuddle every night
and all she cares is my results,
I would only get reprimanded if I did not do the homework right
9X marks is alright
never compliment, being good is never enough.
And experiencing a strong sense of abandonment because of the change of nannies
Sometimes nanny is good , though the ones that we have met are problematic.

But if the path for climbing the social class is that important,
why are the rich people who has almost everything they have got so miserable?
Do they have to sacrifice everything that normal people value to get to the top?

Another thing is that I want to quit what I am doing now Mum :'(
