ティファニーで子育てを2


ナンがミセスXの面接のためX家を訪れます。

『並のニューヨークのアパートの部屋より豪華なエレベーターに乗り、ドアが開くと出てくるのは、やせて小柄でブロンドのストレートヘアの女性、カーキのパンツにカーディガンというカジュアルな服装だけれど、400ドルのシャネルのサンダルで威圧する定番スタイル。大理石の玄関、豪華で生活感のまったくないホテルのスイートルームのようなリビングに通され、3インチも沈むカウチに座る。私(ナン)は、白人、フランス語が話せる、両親が大卒、この2ヶ月間でリンカーンセンターに行ったことがある、ということで推薦状なしに採用。料理が作られた形跡がまったくなく食べ物のかけらもないキッチン、棚の中には一度も使われた事がない新品の高価なナベセット。いくつあるかわからない部屋をぬけて、一番奥の部屋が子供部屋。子供は、高い家具を汚したり傷つけたりしないよう、子供部屋に押し込められている。バスルームの棚には、高くつまれた本当にヨーロッパから輸入したトイレ用洗剤。 ミセスXは、ここぞとばかりに「教育論、子育て論」を熱弁しはじめ、子供の「してはいけない事リスト、食べてはいけないものリスト(忠実に守ったら何も食べるものがない)、びっしり予定がつまった週間おけいごと予定表」を渡す。』

ミセスXは、社交にパーティー、スパ通い、次のパーティーの準備のためのお買い物と多忙です。ナンの携帯電話をかけてきては、次から次へと用事をおしつけます。ミセスX のセリフが英語の直訳になっているので、きっと、こんな感じに、こういう事を言う人が本当にいそうでリアルです。ミスターXはウオールストリートで週80時間以上働き、7桁稼ぐ「マネーエリート」。
Park ave.は「夏の夜は真っ暗」ということで有名です。夏の間、母子はnannyをつれてハンプトンなどのセカンドハウスに、父親は週末だけ合流します。

この本を読んでいたNY発LA着、AA2便にもヴィトンのスーツケースにシャネルのバッグをもったきれいなお母さんにかわいい子供3人にnannyというnannyつき旅行一家をみかけました。 ハーバード入学より大変な4歳児お受験、ミスターXの美人秘書との浮気、クリスマスには、リビングのクリスマスツリーは専門家が飾り付けをするため、グレイヤーの手作りオーナメントはツリーに飾らせてもらえず、近所に住むグレイヤーのお友達の母親は元数々のミスコンテスト優勝者、今ドラッグ中毒etcのエピソードが展開されます。

まとめ。
「大金持ちだからって幸せとはかぎらない、(読者が)自分は普通でよかった、よかった。」ということもありますが、むしろ「どんな家庭でも子供の一番欲しいものは、親のattention。」でしょうか。
