[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 505585, member: 1233"] I think I am hypersensitive to this. Partly from hearing my friend's parents and gma, partly from hearing so very many parents around here saying it. These are NOT all very young or uneducated parents. I was just completely shocked to hear it from someone who went into her profession and became so successful BECAUSE she didn't want her kids to be abused. Or anyone else's. But we ALL make mistakes and I know I have said things that I didn't mean or wished later I hadn't said, and I also sometimes mangle what I am meaning to say. So I will operate on the premise that it was a mistake. I DO think she handled that family well. Does anyone know if they offer any "aftercare" or ongoing help/advice/support to the parents on the show? I wonder what would happen if she had come to our home when Wiz was at his worst. I think she MIGHT have enough to stand up to him, but by the end of the week I think she would have been incredibly confused. Of course, difficult child and kids behaving badly because parents are not being consistent/actively doing anything but shouting are about the same as apples and space shuttles, in my opinion.
