To not want to see wailing children who won't sleep on tv, just when I've managed to get mine settled and sit down for the evening ?

[badtasteflump]

Just that really

After running up and down the stairs 20 times with drinks/cuddles/stories/chats/signing homework books/more cuddles/
and I finally sink into the chair with a cup of tea and a big groan - thats the last thing I wanted to see/hear.

Change the channel then

I hear you btw

Totally with you, turned over for the same reason.

I did change the channel

But I still like to have a post-channel-change moan anyway

I disagree. Supernanny type things make me feel smug and that I am such a great parent, when it's only taken an hour and 8bedroom-returns to get my little darlings to sleep, also seeing others in a far worse sleep deprived state makes me feel more awake.

Switch over and have a thought for us por sleep deprived people waiting to be thrown a bone by the experts!!

Actually, my 10 year old took himself off after watching for about 5 minutes saying it was too depressing to watch a programme about his problems
