Which one are you?
Stay at home and don't let your 7 kids out of your sight OR Go to work and do lots of shopping

Somewhere in the middle. I'm a nervous mother of 2 who sees danger lurking behind every lampost - but go to work 3 days a week, buy a few ready meals and cook a few from scratch (then worry that I'll get killed in a nasty car crash on my way to work and leave them without a mother, or that I'm being neglectful because I do work, but actually love my job and the money!)

They're both freaks this week IMO.

Lots of learning possibilities though, if they're open to it.

I just can't believe the mom of 7. How barking is she? Talk about utterly disempowering your kids so you can have 100% control. Nutter. (Missed the first chunk, so maybe she's just come across as more barking than the other in the later stages of the programme)

I should point out that I didn't actually watch this! (didn't know it was on)

Utter loons. Both men a bit wet, both women strong in the wrong way.

Good lord! That woman w/7 kids was a complete freak. Not letting the kid use a pencil?! FFS!

How are they supposed to learn how to make a good assessment of others - who's good for them and who's bad for them - if they can't even see people outside the house?

hunkermunker · 29/11/2005 21:57

Did you see that bit with her asking her daughter's date if he'd washed his hands?! Loon!

expatinscotland · 29/11/2005 21:58

Now she's sitting in a corner watching her daughter date! What a selfish bitch. I mean, don't you want to see your daughter find a partner who makes her happy and be part of a happy couple? Like you are? How selfish to deprive your daughter of the opportunity to do that.

Those poor girls. They're going to live as far away from mum as they possibly can when they're old enough.

RTKangaMummy · 29/11/2005 22:02

and then to go and check if the dates hands are clean and sniff them

and then squirt soap

expatinscotland · 29/11/2005 22:04

What's she going to do, be there on their wedding night to supervise them?

MrsSpoon · 29/11/2005 22:33

Nah, there will never be a wedding night, any potential hubby has to kiss the mother first and the father isn't going to allow that! Nutters!
