to be depressed watching this thing about large families

[FivesAndNorks]

A family of mostly girls who all seem o be obsessed with being the most beautiful.

I winder if they ever get dirty

I have 2 children and rarely wee in peace, how on earth does she manage it?

I guess you have to be watching it?

Oi what do you think you're doing breaking up my thread of rambling to myself by actually responding? .o

What thing Fives? How many? I've got four girls and four boys and they're all pretty good friends. No peacocks in particular. Sounds odd. Are they rich?

Ooh, what programme is this? Does my mums cousin (she of the 16 kids and 1 grandchild) turn up?

(Thats basically my claim to fame :-) )

Couple who have 11 or maybe 13 children, all except 1 girls. Most obsessed with beauty pageants, the mum most of all. Younger ones squabbling about who the mum gives most attention to when they're posing for the photographer.

Bp not that I'm aware of :o

What channel?

Is it on channel 4 or a channel 4 channel? I think it was on a few month ago and it did feature the Morecambe family. Is it the family of beauty queens with lots of girls and one boy?

Ok so only 8 is a bit wet, I'll give you that. But the family sounds grim. Are they from the UK? Or from the US (I'm guessing they are, with the beauty pageant thing). Which channel?

No UK, Brighton I think. Not sure what channel, finished now. There was also a family from Bradford.

I loved the family that went camping! Thought the mum & dad had such a lovely way with the kids. Think pageant family were prob a nice family,but my god did I cringe at the pageant bits!

And 8 is not wet, its impressive! I can't imagine life with 8 children.

I liked the other family but I think they were in a shit situation. All seemed a bit miserable.

Agree,it was a awful situation. I kept wondering what the hell I'd be like coping with it all. Very grey for a start! They so clearly want the kids to achieve 'more' though. Cringed big time at the pageant daughter's Princess Di speech...

Britta - is that the family with the bakery? They're my heroes, I love them!
