Nanny 911?

anyway, it was a family with 5 boys, the oldest was 8 and the youngerst were twin 2 year olds. They were wild children, always hitting, punching, climbing, screaming, and a nanny comes in for a week and helps the parents establish rules and such.

I was horrified that people actually live like that before the nanny got there.

My2Beauties replied: Darn I missed it, I have been wanting to see this show!

GavinsMommy replied: I saw the show! I didn't get to watch all of it bc I passed out but I saw the beginning. Makes me wary of having this boy! laugh.gif I didn't get to see the end but I'm guessing they turned into angels, right? emlaugh.gif

ediep replied:
well not angles, but the 2 older ones started behaving a little better and the 3 younger ones tended to follow. The parents learned about "Time out" and how to back eachother up when it comes to dicipline.

GavinsMommy replied: Yeah I saw where the dad was giving the kids coffee. Ummmmmmm hello, if your kids are that bad anyway...DON'T GIVE THEM COFFEE!! laugh.gif

TANNER'S MOM replied: I watched and thought the kids acted the way they did for a reason. Because THEY COULD! Children will get by with as much as let them! It is in there nature.

I am a mother of 4, and my kids are far from perfect but I pride myself and often get compliments about how well behaved they are. I am not afraid to take mine to any fancy restaurant anywhere.

These being said, one time we were in a grocery store and they weren't acting up to par. I said kids you better act right, get like ducks in row and lets hurry up and get the shopping done. My husband was pushing the cart..suddenly 4 kids lined up behind him in the middle of the store in age order...starting duck walking and taking turns quacking....I never laughed so hard in my life and my husband was so embrassed he walked out of the store and sat in the car....gotta have a sence of humor! rolling_smile.gif

jcc64 replied: Saw the show, find it very interesting. I can't believe some people are that clueless, and then have no problem sharing their trainwreck with the rest of the world- but there they are!

mummy2girls replied: Yes i watched that show and the one the week before that! I cant believe the mom and dad let it get that bad before asking for help.

Nannies are the best arent they...LOL wink.gif

bucky replied:
hahaha.. that story is awesome! I would've started quacking too if I was him, not gone to the car! thumb.gif

ediep replied:
yes, that is what I was thinking as I was watching too! Unbelieveable

LOL! Thanks for the laugh, what a cute story! Make sure you write that one down so you never forget it, although I don't think you can forget something that cute.


I missed the show sad.gif I wonder if it repeats.

ctymom replied: That show was so painful to watch! I could NOT live like that! Respect is really big in my house and I just dont tolerate how they were behaving. I learned about Time-outs real fast! lol

Shows where there are these foul mouthed children backtalking everyone make me want to jump through the screen and knock 'em around! tongue.gif

Shows like that make me so thankful for my boys. wub.gif
