Anyone watch this?

I wonder when the kak-mouthed 18 year old, Mary, saw the program, she realised what she was like throughout. Are all 18 year olds that bad?? I think I gave my parents an easy time of it!

She was 18 going on 6. A good example of how not to raise your kids.

Fascinating programme, looking forward to next weeks.

I almost expected the fat woman to go back home and start smoking pot too.

Well Mary n Co, deffinately fell out the ugly tree !! At first i was LMFAO, then i was thinking more of how they let her get away with using that language. I swore once in front and to my parents some moons ago, and it something i wont forget in a hurry. Now, i dont swear when in front of my mum, she hates it. Me n me dad are mates now, so casual swearing when we are out is different. Oh and i couldnt of lived in Marys room for a hour let alone 2weeks. !! is she sure about them cuddly fur *****. !!

That brat is a good case for culling.

I was frightened by the blatently racist comments that the overweight woman was making, no wonder her children had the same attitude, with that kind of upbringing.

Best quote was the 'I didn't know they made women that lazy' one (or what ever it was).

Looking forward to having my eyes opened even further next week.

looking forward to next weeks

Excellent programme. Anyone else think the white guy came out of the deal best as the black wife seemed like one of natures nice people.
As for the 18yr old - to borrow from Dusk till Dawn
Her mother should have banged her on the head when she was born and sold the milk

I didn't know which I disliked the most. The woman with 6 kids seemed nice and down to earth but she had no job, the woman with a job worked to support her kid. All very confusing, and get very bitchy at the end!

paulr

Surely looking after 6 kids is a job in itself

DRUNKNORGY

she did have a job, she was a part time youth worker.
I was in the C4 chat room when they were fielding our questions.
They were an extremely hard working couple. I have 2 kids and theres no way I would want to trade places with them.

oh I missed that part of the programme then. I think lookign after 6 kids is a huge job and good luck to her! I think the career woman didn't realise that it is a job and it was a case of both of them not understanding how the others lead their lives. No one is a doormat if they enjoy their life and what they do.

Hiya,

The lady with the one kid on tonight's programme seemed to be trying to justify herself working by using the following argument:

I work because one day my kid will leave home and I need a nice house.

Sorry - this vexes me. If you want (or need) to work then please just say so and do not try and justify it using some other poor excuse as to why you want to place your kid in daycare, (such as 'I need my career in 20 years time' - did you see her job - ooh I look up MDs on D&B for 12 hours a day!!). All of her arguments seemed wholly selfish and the mother of the lady with 6 kids had some very valid arguments (which she just shouted down). She's missing the best years of her kids life, and from the arguments she was giving these are by her own choice and not necessity, even though she was trying to play the sympathy vote.

She can have cake, or she can eat cake, but she can't have both and argue the toss. To let a guy that runs two jobs get 6 kids ready for school while she takes a lie-in (after 1 or 2 days) sums it up.

worley

The only child (posh couple) seemed to be a part of the furniture - something to talk about over dinner. Are there really families like this that exist? The 'legal secretary' didn't have a clue.

As for the other woman, granted she seemed a bit simple, but the kids were full of life and appeared quite happy. As for the husband, at least the kids were under control and well presented - bet he has few problems when the're teenagers. Poor sod, having to work all those hours.

Good programme though, but the GF started talking about kids again...
