[QUOTE="Hexemaus, post: 19503, member: 72"] Okay, I'll chime in only because the difficult children and I have watched a few episode of Super Nanny. We watch it more for comic relief than anything else - we tell all sorts of twisted difficult child-type jokes about "What if Super Nanny were to come here," etc. (I'm sure "normal" folks would think we're really warped and twisted to hear us make jokes about people with "normal" problems, but you guys know the kind of sense of humor required to raise difficult children without losing your mind. lol.) My kids are fully aware of their challenges. They're also fully aware that Super Nanny tactics are for kids with "normal" issues, not necessarily difficult children. My youngest difficult child has asked more than once if we should send her a tape of our family so she can see what "truly" difficult kids are like. (He usually points at his brother during these comments...never would he admit that HE is "difficult." lol) The sad part is when difficult child 2 points out, in his ever-so-matter-of-fact, Mom-is-my-equal-not-my-parent tone, that things around here might settle down some if I did like the Super Nanny suggests and be more consistent. That always makes me giggle, but the sad thing is he's probably right. I could do with a bit more consistency in this house, but to have that pointed out by a 13 year old difficult child? That's just so wrong. lol. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
