I think this is real...? http://www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/beonashow/shows/pramface.shtml Anyone fancy it?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I have just spent the last hour reading the entire thread and it strikes me that there are some very defensive people out there! We are all united as SP's, however we are all entitled to our different opinions.

Personally, I am not offended by the title. The people taking part in the show did not name the show, so if you're offended, take it up with the Beeb!

Please stop arguing people!! As this thread is not 'edited' by the BBC or any1 else, there are some pretty agressive and childish remarks being made. Agree to disagree. I can see the points being made on both sides and I will etirely reserve judgement until I have seen the programme. It wouldn't be my cup of tea to take part in something like this myself, but I wouldn't criticise anyone else for doing so - and good for you if you came out of it with something positive.

As far as I am concerned, this website is a source of advice and support so please stop the petty remarks. It's not making any1 look or feel good.

At the end of the day, I am an SP, and although I used to avoid telling people as I wanted to avoid people stereotyping me, I have now come to realise that being an SP is something to be immensely proud of when I watch my DD growing up to be a happy, vibrant and loving little girl. I did that by myself. I am not ashamed.

Have your opinions, discuss them by all means, but leave out the nasty comments!!

I watched Pramface Babies and as a no-so-much impartial member of "Joe Public" I thought the mothers shown were great. I certainly didn't think "how awful", I was impressed and touched by the obvious love and pride they had in themselves and their beautiful children. If the other pramface programme is half as good, then no-one has anything much to worry about. IMO.

Oh and the "not so impartial" part is because I work with lone parents. And I have to say that on the whole they are wonderful, resilient, courageous people who do not make me fear for the next generation in the slightest. I love my job and it's entirely down to the great people I have the priviledge of talking to, every day.

hey, i feel very positive now, seen an episode of pramface mansion and it is very good, in no way does it look like a Big brother style-y programme, Production have done a good job. Still think some people on here are getting mixed up with channel 4's pramface babies and BBC's (our programme) Pramface mansion, they are totally different non releting programmes. Can't wait till it's on TV now.

MadameCh0let · 17/03/2008 10:03

Well I'm single and 38, and I'd be so flattered if anybody thought I was a pramface! I'd think my Tesco anti-wrinkle cream was as good as Estee Lauder. I could fool myself.

Apparently the programme was sympathetic to younger mothers. I didn't see it. But see it from their point of view, we all fanny about in the office for twenty years and then have to have ivf. That's how they generalise, and from their side of the fence we are the idiots.

Pramfacequeen · 22/03/2008 23:19

Hi all, ok PRAMFACE BABIES is NOT the programme were discussing it was PRAMFACE MANSION which is now YOUNG MUMS MANSION!!! The BBC have changed the title so all those who had a BIG problem with the name can now chill and think what problem this title will cause. (im sure theres someone out there who won't approve) If those of you that are interested in watching this programme then please feel free to check out the BBC3 website and you will see the programme review alongside all our mug shots and some info!!

Jackdoll · 31/03/2008 13:02

Have checked out the BBC website had a read saw the pictures not bad noticed there are only 9 and no dad ? I do hope to watch it and will give an opinion after all that has been said about it

Cerocer · 06/04/2008 21:15

The single dad comes in later which is why he isn't in the photo's. There were also 10 mums to start with but quickly went down to nine - all will be explained in tomorrow nights programme (Monday 7th April @ 9pm on BBC3).

Pramfacequeen · 06/04/2008 23:54

Hey Young Mums Mansion 9pm, hope some of you like it, i say some as can't please you all It starts with 10 and then your figure the rest as you watch episode one and your have to wait until next Monday before you see the lovely dad himself and his kids!! Enjoy x

Jackdoll · 07/04/2008 15:02

I am now intrigued how 10 became 9 so quickly will be sure to watch hope it came to fisticuffs Ha Ha! Will make for interesting viewing and ratings I suspect.

sparklyfairypie · 07/04/2008 21:28

got it on now

Lulumama · 07/04/2008 21:30

missed it after all that !! is it repeated???

sparklyfairypie · 07/04/2008 21:38

still on now x

Pramfacequeen · 07/04/2008 22:52

Should be repeated on BBC3 later on tonight, if not go on BBC3 website and watch it on there!! So what did you all think???

nametaken · 08/04/2008 00:20

which one are you pramfacequeen?

Tippychick · 08/04/2008 08:54

Watched it last night, very entertaining.

Can I ask one of the YMs in the programme, why did none of you have any bedlinen? I realise that the programme should have raised more issues than this but it was really bugging me! Everyone seemed to be sleeping on bare mattresses and with uncovered duvets. Did the BBC not spring for sheets for you poor things?

Jackdoll · 08/04/2008 09:20

very interesting not impressed with the one who left the little chap did not seem happy I only saw him smile once and I dont care what the relationship break up was like you do not take someones child. I believe his father did not know where he was at all and had been deceived. just imagine as a mum someone doing that to you. She only seemed bothered when she had got to go home and looked like a good act to me when she got there. The comment ready to be a mum now I think she`s about 3 years too late. As for the rest it looked like you were all prepared to give things a good go and were committed. I do hope for all the rest of you mums it turns out to be a good experience and you can all gain from it!

gillybean2 · 08/04/2008 11:11

It's not live Jackdoll, it started in November last year and ran for a month. Anything they gained has already been gained

Jackdoll · 08/04/2008 11:39

I realise that but I suppose it will be at the end of the episodes when we get to hear what they think they have gained and whether it was productive and feasable as the experiment is trying to find out. I would assume things get better after the first episode as they were all strangers and trying to find their feet, I was trying to say to put yourself in there and in the spotlight lets hope after it all you would gain from it. Fingers crossed!

Haha, yea we were provided with bed linen but some mums chose not to put it on their bed because either they didn't know how to or they were being lazy. This lasts for about 2wks before another mum helps her make her bed.

As for the mum who took her son without consent, its a very hard one to discuss as its such a sensitive area but she did it without thinking straight, she wanted to prove to people she wanted to now be a mum to her son, make up for the 3yrs she had missed out on (yes due to her own selfishness). Everyone has the right to try and correct their mistakes. Unfortunately she went about it the wrong way caused people some severe concern and she got dealt the concequences due to her stupid actions. Her actions to try and right a wrong has actually left her with less chance of trying to become a mum to her son. Some of you may say she deserves this but all parents out there should be able to sympathise with the desperate measures you will go to for your kids, weather they live with you or not.

Anyway enjoy tonights show

CrackerOfNuts · 08/04/2008 18:19

I really enjoyed it, thought it was very good. I'd have loved to have taken part, think it would be a good confidence building oppurtunity.

PersephoneSnape · 08/04/2008 19:22

had to turn over. poor little kids being sent off to a different school for a month, because their mums want to be on telly.

Jackdoll · 08/04/2008 19:44

Pramfacequeen I believe this girl who left the programme is the same girl who left the message under IDONTCARE and she did not do herself any favours with her attitude so it seems to me she hasnt learnt from her stupid mistake or selfishness at all Hope I am wrong for the little chaps case he deserves better ( how about his chance )
