I know. It's disgusting. Those poor girls.
I almost cried just then when the girls were hugging Super Nanny. What a sad situation. |

I couldn't watch - it was too heartbreaking
On a more amusing note - did anyone see Dr Phil and his 'Stage Mommies' (sorry to threadjack) -------------

It was so sad for those poor girls I really hope things are ok for them now.
Basically a 17 year old and 14 year old were left to raise 2 4 year olds and a 3 year old, keep the house clean and do their schooling online while their parents worked. They even had to deal with getting all the kids in bed. |

I watched it too, I told DH they need to phone cyfs (well US equivalent).
For those that didn't see it, the parents both worked full time and left the care of 3 boys under 4 to their 17 and 14 year old daughters who also had to do all of the chores, oh and lets not forget that they were also homeschooling themselves via the internet 
The teenage girls had rung supernanny for help. -------------

Thats awful , hmm, did they wait til their daughters were old enough to babysit before having the boys ? or was that just a "lucky coincidence"

Yer I reckon.... I got so angry at those parents.... Why have more kids if you can't look after the ones you have???
The father was a selfish git and the mother was just as bad... One of the girls asked to go for a walk, and the mother started nutting off at her to do her chores.... they do chores all day long... give her a break woman GAAAAH do the sweeping yourself -------------

I didnt see it, only read what you guys have said..was Supernanny shocked? did she look like she knew it wouldn't get better?
Those poor girls , and even once they both reach the age to move out , they will probably be too worried to leave their brothers -------------

Supernanny was in tears....never seen her like that before.
What go me is that the Dad appololgised to the girls & then wouldn't believe them that they folded most of the washing. That was right before one of the girls fainted. I hope they did what they said and hired a baby sitter during the day... ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

and when he complained about having more jobs than them.....they are teenagers FFS!!! and he said they don't do enough chores and it makes him mad ? when exactly do they have a chance? it made me so mad and angry:( I just hope a child welfare person was watching:(
in the middle they said they Dad told them that everything would go back to normal once SuperNanny left:( he is very lucky they haven't just walked out.. the older one looked very sick.. nice happy story at the end but was a load of poos I thought.. and those poor little kids as well..such sweet little boys:( ------------- Mum to two amazing boys! |
