Ah, but that one isn’t so bad. 
Are you sure there are four? Are they triplets and then one extra?
According to ABC’s website, she has four kids.
My recollection is that she has hree boys (two of whom are twins), and also a baby.
Lynette had peace and quiet, and a nanny that was really healthy for her kids. Now she’s going to disrupt the whole family again. If she gets another sitter, I can hardly wait to find out what drama is going to ensue. It’s almost like she’s just really resentful of having to give up her career and raise the kids, so she’s determined if she’s not happy, no one else can be either. Did she ever actually go back to work, now that she has all this free time?
I realize of course, the show is called Desperate Housewives, so there never will be an end to the drama. I’m just tired of Lynette’s particular drama.
You actually bring up a point that has been bugging me for a while now: if she hired this nanny, why not go back to a big, corporate job?
I remember she was trying to figure out how to pay the nanny in the first place and I thought, “She could just go back to work…”
