I was wondering if anyone would comment on the fruitshoot Wink. Mad, mad parents, all of them.

God this is awful.

If they weren't m/c they'd have ss involved.

The thing is a lot of this stuff an awful lot of kids could do- but normal sane parents wouldn't put them through it.

So sad the way their parents have made these kids utterly obnoxious.

Chicken she had them tested and is clinging to the fact that her son is "brighter" than her daughter.

Oh god give it a rest Joshua's mum. What's the worst that could happen? Your pushy mum forces you into performing monkey status.

Nice to see Josh's mum hugging him, and pleased when he got his point.

Was 90 divided by 10 a sympathy question? Seems very different level to the other questions.

How many times has poor Josh got to throw up before his mum thinks this is not good for my son Confused ?

I would never force my dd to do something that made her physically vomit prior to doing it - that is abusive.

I think it's more that her son is more like her with an interest in engineering and she doesn't get that being bookish is as academic

Sorry, I have an Indian background and have to keep top lip and eyebrows in check. I always feel desperately sorry for young girls who struggle in this area. Its so easy to fix. I don't have girls but if I did I would definitel try and help out

very uncomfortable viewing tbh. the parents seem horridly pushy.

hugo may be a genius, but I wouldn't allow him to speak to me like that if I was his mother. social skills are just as important, as mental ones.

If you child had severe acne would you ignore? I wouldn't. If I had a daughter with a lot of facial hair I would try and help. However with parents like this they probably have other things on their mind
