Love Quote by Ruby Wax

Domestic help is supposed to signal calm, continuity, and control. Ruby Wax flips that expectation into a punchline about chaos as a lifestyle brand: the nannies "love" it because the house runs like a surprise party nobody agreed to. The line is structured like a humblebrag, but it lands because it refuses the usual celebrity-mom myth of serene competence. Instead, Wax sells unpredictability as the real perk, as if the workplace hazard is also the employee benefit.

The subtext is double-edged. On one level, it sketches a household where famous people and oddballs might drift in at any moment, turning childcare into front-row access. On another, it quietly admits what fame does to privacy and routine: the front door becomes a portal, not a boundary. Even the word "our" matters. This isn't just Wax being eccentric; it's a collective identity, a family brand built on spontaneity, maybe even instability, dressed up as fun.

There's also a class-aware sting hiding under the laugh. Nannies are often framed as invisible infrastructure; here they're given a reaction, a preference, a stake in the story. But the joke still depends on asymmetry: the employer gets to treat disorder as charming because someone else is paid to manage its consequences. Wax, who built her career on turning neurosis into comedy, uses that tension as fuel. The line works because it's not just quirky; it's a small, sharp confession about the glamorous mess people want to peek into - and the labor required to keep it from becoming a disaster.
