[QUOTE="donna723, post: 12998, member: 1883"] "Super Nanny" is the one on ABC on Mondays and this is the one I usually watch. I am assuming that none of these children have real diagnosed disorders or medical conditions that cause their behaviors. Most of these situations seem to have just gotten waaaaay out of hand to the point where the kids are in charge and the parents sit there helpless! They've shown kids that cuss the parents out, kids that hit and spit at parents or siblings, and the parents have just given up and do nothing! Some just tune it out and stand there in the middle of all the chaos around them like it wasn't happening! HELLO! And what the "Super Nanny" really does is to put the parents back in charge, where they should have been all along. Don't mean to sound like an ol' f#rt, but when WE were kids, we knew darned good and well who was in charge, and it sure wasn't US! You don't have to be harsh, unloving or abusive to TELL children what they are to do. I see so many younger parents ASKING things like, "Do you want to stop playing and pick up your toys now?" Well, of course he doesn't! Would you??? When you "ask", you give them the option of saying, "No"! Then what do you do? You don't have to be a dictator to be "in charge". And I DID see the one where the goofy, clueless father took his little boys "frog hunting" with flashlights in the back yard right before bedtime and then wondered why the kids were bouncing off the walls till midnight! Duh! [/QUOTE]
