3 day nanny tue 8pm ch4 s2

[Blondeshavemorefun]

just incase anyone liked this last series :)

Watching on +1 I'm confused, I think she set the Dad up for a fall there. The ds kicked off in the shop, he took the boys hand so boy couldn't just fuck off but didn't give tons of attention for the behaviour, the nanny told him off saying something like hes not an animal, then when the dad leaned down to the boy he was told off again for pandering I actually think dad had it right the first time.

I don't think she seemed that much happier or especially relaxed at the end. Dame I agree that of course things needed to change- but it seemed as though there was a lot of negativity towards her. And telling her to relax when she's clearly anxious and depressed doesn't help- you could see how forced even the positive exchanges were. I don't think they were a good family for the show- they needed some gentle longer term assistance to help the mum (and therefore family) recover rather than the no nonsense 3 day nanny. Kathryn seemed out of her depth.

The mum has learned some techniques tho in distraction which can help her, but I agree with everyone that Carly is not in a great place, she should have been asked to see her gp.

I guess the nanny is there to help with the children, she isn't a medical expert. Also, maybe that was suggested to the mum off camera. They didn't need to show us that, because that's be really what the programme is about.

It doesn't matter if it was an act or not to start with, as Kathryn said it will be the fifth time they make cakes that she'll start to enjoy things. As things change the mum will hopefully begin to feel better.

I definiteky didn't expect Kathryn to be a psychiatrist, but it made uncomfortable viewing as I can't imagine things improved hugely until Carly's mood picked up. I just don't think they were the right sort of family for this intervention. It probably wasn't apparent during the screening process. They seemed like lovely kids. I hope things are better all round now.

Agree mum seemed depressed and down trodden

Wonder if kids ever went to dads and she had a break but also he actually reliesed how hard looking after children - working - running a home can be

Think mum was right when said dad was like a fun uncle. Play with them and stuff them with sweets etc and then mum cope with the sugar rush /downfall

She was negative to kids but can understand why

Distraction is good but also you need to tell children off/get them to stop fighting

I have had squabbling children in the car and I found stopping car (in safe place) and ignoring or waiting till finished worked well

They soon learnt to stop If they wanted to go anywhere - distraction means they are still doing it next time

This programme pointed up even more how ludicrous the three day thing is. Given that the mother was working and the children are at school, the reality is that the amount of time available for working on the problems is in fact around 7 hours a day at most. I simply don't believe that any long term improvements can be put in place within that sort of timescale.

I think that both Carly and the little boy were in a lot of pain. Ruby seemed more resilient, and the dad disengaged. I wondered how recent the split was. The house was a mess as well, which kind of plays to the depression point. Poor woman.

I didn't notice the house being a mess but if she works full time then house work will be way down her list I would've thought especially as she works in a nursery the hours tend to be long. She said she gets up at 4 or 5 am to catch up on housework so she clearly doesn't have enough hours in the day.

I thought the complete opposite of Ruby, I thought they were all in a mess tbh, poor family seemed much better at the end though , hope it continues.

I think things would have improved quicker if nanny kathryn had sat the dad down & told him to quit being a dick and start being a dad.

She did though

Well, not those exact words but she told him to man up...

Anyone watching today? This poor lady is so exhausted!

I didn't know the nanny was pregnant - only just noticed her massive bump!

its her first baby. would be interested to know if she takes her away her babies last bedtime bottle and dummy all in one night. poor little things

Just watching on plus one now.i have to agree with her so far. they are being treated like babies.

bless the mum though she's running about like a mad thing

The mum came across well and listened to Katherine. Her views are very much like mine

It's all about boundaries and consistency

Dummies are often the cause of waking when older and alright cio it hard - it's short term pain for long term gain

And yes works love to know if her baby will be sleeping through the night by 4 mths and at a yr still sleeping with no dummies or temper tantrums

And yes works love to know if her baby will be sleeping through the night by 4 mths and at a yr still sleeping with no dummies or temper tantrums

that's not actually that unusual. I know of no one who's kids were being fed at night at 4 months. They were all sleeping through

both mine had bottles removed at a year and we're just fine. As they were when funny was taken away.

I think people dread it and put it off when actually there's nothing to say that it won't be plain sailing.

You don't know til you try. just seems people are afraid of trying having pre emptied massive problems.

It's not always like that. sometimes is yes but could easily not be.

but crying really shouldn't he something to be afraid of. trying to get through a day without it is too much pressure and will serve only to make you a nervous wreck

Totally agree Giles !!!!

They were nearly 2. No need for bottles of milk or dummies

And they were tag teaming each other and crying and screaming and then waiting to see if anyone came

70 mins is just over an hour

Not forever !!!

I felt bad for them losing their bottles and dummies all at once - don't know why they couldn't have had a cup of milk?

On tonight 8pm

so what will tonights episode bring

Argh not in bed until midnight waaaaaarrrggghhhh

really dont get why children/parents dont get to bed at a decent hour thats half the problem of bad behaviour as tired and grumpy
