Where's her kids?

In the scene where Erin and George retreat to the bedroom, and it appears its still daytime. Further, its where Erin shows George her tiara. Anyways, where's her kids when she is engaging in a little "afternoon delight"? I know there probably out playing, but isn't that a little tacky? She plays hard to get by saying, and I'm paraphrasing, "this is not going to get you laid", but than bangs him anyways in afternoon. I wonder if Erin was that horny in real life or is that Hollywood making the script more juicier?

I just watched this again last night and was wondering, again, where her kids were during this scene. Sure looks like daytime. Maybe the kids were at school and Beth was napping. Still, it was odd that nothing was mentioned.

Well Hollywood definitely always does this, and I don't know if it was for this scene, but apparently Erin impulsively moved with her children TO CALIFORNIA FOR JORGE. That is right, Erin was only visiting California with a friend when she met Jorge, and she had lived there before, so she moved for him.

So says this site:

Also surprised to learn the firm paid Jorge to be the nanny while Erin worked on this case.

But back to the OP. It would seem the two oldest were in school, as Erin arrives home after being fired. And Jorge is there maybe just for handiwork and the baby. (Who is then napping while they canoodle?)

Who cares where her kids are? We see plenty of them throughout the movie. She demonstrates she is a responsible parent in her own way. She shouldn't have any down time?

We really don't need an extra couple of scenes in a 2+ hour film to establish specifically the 3 kids' whereabouts at this time. Gimme a break!

Hey, Spooky, I was being sarcastic when I asked where her kids are. Furthermore, I don't give a rats a$$ where they are either. I was just pointing out what a pig she is. Also, other than her good investigative skills, Erin, portrayed in the movie, to me anyways, is every white trash, single mother cliche you can think of. Just my .02
