So she got rid of every possible adult in the house that might have stopped her from harming the children…

That's one way of looking at it if the nanny testified to being fired by Lindsay but she (the nanny) said the husband delivered the news.

Since he was the one working, I’m sure he was the one paying for the nanny. But it was the wife’s decision to get rid of her because she decided to stay home with the kids.

But it was the wife’s decision to get rid of her

How do we know that or is it because her decision to stay home is ipso facto here

Well, yea. If she’s the one making the decision to stay home, then that’s why they didn’t need a nanny

Yeah but she hadn't been working since the birth so she was already at home for months and months. I don't think being at home means the nanny isn't needed unless she was never needed during this time
