I love it!

Its really interesting seeing the silly arguments kids have with their parents!
It's not just me that has arguments over trivial things!

Is it a real documentary?

I am confused over the baby! Who does it belong to?

Also - the dad is a knob.

Yes, I love it too. That front door gets a hard time, always being slammed!

I thought it was very touching when the mum got the daughter to sit on her knee after being bawled out by both parents.

I love it too. As far as I know, they are a real family. The dad is hilarious - not sure if I would feel the same if he was my dad though.
The baby is the eldest daughter's who lives down the road.
The mum seems incredibly lazy. As do the daughters.
Can't wait for next week.

I love this. I have let ds watch a bit, as a lesson in " mine is not the only parent who is like this". I'm not sure if the mum goes out to work, after all she is edited to look as if she spends most of her time in a dressing gown.

Agree, Dad prize knob head, makes me glad I'm a single parent!

LOL - dd2 watched a bit and says he's got DH's temper .

It's addictive. We all think the dad has a huge ego and likes the sound of his own voice, but then he does something really sweet like kisses his son's head, or buys his wife beautiful valentine hearts...
