Does anybody watch the ABC show Supernanny?

Question

OMG! Where do they find these people?! The kids on that show are MONSTERS! How can parents let their kids get so out of hand? I'd be pulling my hair out if my kids acted like that!

Answer 1

I've got four kids (6,5,4,2 yrs old) and another on the way and I don't get it. My kids are well behaved and I don't think I'm doing anything spectacularly out of the norm. But I live around many, many kids who are also monsters (not that I blame the kids). It is disturbing. I think a lot of the issue has to do with selfish parents who don't want to waste THEIR time being consistent with discipline. Its so sad because its not all that hard if you start of consistent but the older they get the harder it will get for them to have any order or peace in their lives. I don't think parents should give up everything they love for their kids (unsatisfied parents aren't good for kids either) but jeez! You have to live a little differently when you have kids.

BTW I love that show because it makes me feel really grateful.

Answer 2

They are everywhere.

Answer 3

Most of the time it's the parents who let it get out of control by giving into their kids. I've seen it with my cousins mostly. Not to brag but my brother and I were good kids and never screamed for anything like some of those kids.
