House of Tiny Tearaways - Anyone?

[Toothyboy]

Lazy old git, wasn't he?!!

I hope Matthews parents will be OK - maybe they just need to learn how to relax and enjoy what they've got? She may have looked uncomfortable because things have been bad for so long it's a shock to suddenly be able to open up and it may take her a few days to defrost! I know it would take me more than one cuddle and one chat to cheer up after months of misery.

Agree with views on Dr Tanya - he approach is briliant - friendly and unpatronising. Saying that, you can tell which families she likes more though!

I love hearing her stuff - next best thing to having counselling yourself.

cheesecake - how about Dr Tanya AND Nigella Lawson for best friends? Therapy and cake anyone?

Mrs Boden hates Mr Boden. YOu can tell she practically seeths when he comes near, and he doesn;t understand at all. She really resents him b/c he's still got his job, money, independence and she feels she's lost all hers.

He gets to play rugby and she dfoesn;t have any time to do anything for herself. She hates him.

Fairly typical scenario though.

I wonder why they had another child? Unless she is spectacularly fertile and both were accidents.
AGree that she seems to loath him. Very sad really.

You're right FK. You can tell she is really disappointed in him cos her parents had a "perfect marriage" and she's been lumbered with him.

Maybe they had another child because it's the done thing. They only just seem to be acknowledging that they have problems. Bet they though it was normal to feel crap after first baby and that baby 2 would solve the probs. They seem to be very concerned having the right things. Now they've got them they've realised that they don't automatically provide happiness.

I think it really shows that being rich, educated and 'from a good background' is no guarantee of happiness

(Must stop posting on this topic, far too obsessed with their relationship)

just an observation - now we are into the 3rd series lots of the families are talking about how they have already tried tt techniques at home - yet they still have kids that won't eat and behavior probs don't they..?

Yes, why did Mr & Mrs Boden not have success with rapid return at home, when they started doing it straight away when they got into the house?

I too am in danger of obsessing over this, lol.

whos i rich and well deucated?

The scottish couple

relatively speaking

Oh and in answer to your question FK-- I think cos they hadn't addressed any of the underlying issues eg their constant bickering in front of the children.

Okay I promise that will be the last post on the house today. Really getting ridiculously obsessed

Oh hurray! I thought this thread had died, and I am absolutely OBSESSED with this programme. I could watch it all day.

Agree that they must choose the people very carefully, so it is a little disingenuous when Tanya seems surprised that there is a 'story'.

Also agree that I would love to see people who have kids with behavioural problems where there isn't a story. Surely they must exist. I have terrible problems with dd1 sometimes, but I don't think we have a 'story'.

Am really intrigued by Mr & Mrs Boden - not the usual types on the prog, I think Tanya has got them really sussed - they see their kids as something that should be able to be sorted according to set rules and procedures, and when they can't they are totally at sea.

How sad am I? I look forward to 8pm so I can sit down with HOTT...am devestated when they come to the end of a series.

do you htink that one day womoen wull shout no he is just blaaddy norty

lol cod - i admit i know children i would say that about! although... i still the blame the parents

i hate to say this, but rosies whining voice really grates on my nerves. i'd say' stop that noise!'

I think the parents kinda try the methods at home but not enthusiastically, also, without Tanya there for initial encouragement it's lot easier to give up imo. after all, I aan't imagine many parents persiveering and sending a child back to bed 300 times like happened with Natasha last week?

Misdee I agree totally re rosey, just want to tell her to shut the hell up! lol

is it me (my kids being 14 and 11 so rosetinted glasses)but is the little boy really naughty.. and yes Misdee that childs whining is hard to take

little boy=matthew? he is rather ahem boisterous.

charlie is so sweet.

rosies mum annoys me. 'eat the bread and you get this, eatthe bread, eat the bread eat the bread.' i know why she was doing it, but going on and on encourgae the child to whine some more.

Havnt read all of thread so sorry if I am repeating but going back to the point that you can tell who she prefers over others if you look at her saying goodbye at the end of the week she always hugs and kisses the ones she prefers .

oh as a PS two hours of HOTT I am in heaven .

I must be a hard faced whatname but there is no way I would sit for an hour and 47 minutes persuading a child to eat bread(or whatever)
Eat it or go hungry til next time the kitchen is open is my motto.[evil witch emoticon]

thats the rule in my house. dd2 refused lunch today, so had to starve till snack time when dd1 finishes school. she was grumpy.
