supernanny last night

[mandimoo]

i have no children, so understand that i probably dont understand (?), but that little girl last night got me so mad just watchin the tv, how did they refrain from lashing back at her? do you think there was a mental problem? and i dont mean this in a wind up sort of way, i really dont know if i could have handled it.

These are all repeated but I still had to watch it again because even though she is the child from hell, she had me in stitches last time, especially when she said �I didnt pinch her I hit her� :-) I�m sorry but she was just copying her mum most of the time and its not the childs fault that they were taught no respect.

Lashing back and hitting a child makes the mother no better than the child. If its ignored they soon learn to stop playing up to it when they are getting no attention.

it's children like that who make me too scared to ever have kids. If I ended up with a Megan, I'd lose my temper and lash out. The mother didn't think she was coping well, but she was doing a much better job that I ever could. Interesting to see what happened after Jo left for good, though....

but sooz would you bring them up to be that bad in the first place?

Its the parents fault in most of the cases, its sad when you see a 2-3 year old yelling F---Off etc, where they can only have picked that up from one of the parents really

It may have been a similar show, where they were also trying to stop the kids running riot, and they showed the Dad trying to read to the daughter, when the Mum comes in and starts screaming "Dont f__ing read to her now, f__ing Eastenders is about to f__ing start"

Lovely behaviour, and they wonder why the kids act up.

And on those shows, I wonder how intrusive the camera crew are, do the kids play up even more ??
