Alone at home

[Graphista]

Anyone watching? I've a 17 yo dd and I think it'll be fascinating.

On a practical level dd would absolutely cope, she can cook, clean, do laundry etc.

Emotionally? I think she'd find it difficult.

She's almost 18 (in a few months) and sometimes talks about "when I move out" threatens to leave so she can do what she likes

But when it comes to crunch I think she still prefers not having the responsibility.

Another heart-warming episode full of lovely kids. Their parents must be very proud.

Lovely family and kids. Nice to see the eldest with downs Cook and order food

I really felt for the daughter at the train station - were there no staff she could ask :(

Great they got a bus to school then taxi

Is anyone watching this evening's episode?

Yes the mum's a mnetter. she called her DH 'an old gimmer'

Ha. That's what I thought too.

I'd have loved 4 sons. Feeling a bit weepy.

To be honest I thought they were all quite lovely. I'm glad that they got to be independent, especially the twins.

They were all lovely. I loved the fact that they all went to Scouts
I'm very old fashioned.

Loved tonight’s mum, their boys were just lovely.
I loved their face when he realised how late they were for school.

She is. I know her.

Resurgam Tell us more. I'm envious of her.

What lovely boys on tonight's episode.

I think that the youngest handled it very well after initially getting upset. He's only 8! They were all so articulate too.

Lovely family but thought it was a bit odd that the dad couldn't have taken time off work for the first weekend away with his wife for 13 years!!

He was off work as I understood it. He was simply working late on the Monday... Or did I misunderstand it?

He had the sort of job that means you have to work even if you haven't planned to.

loved this show but only saw last nights. the boy who went to the chinese in china town was v impressive i wonder where they live as it looks so idyllic for london, am guessing dulwich?

I absolutely love this show, I watch again it the next day with my 9 yr old boy.
My son finds it fascinating and loves that they eat sweets. It has opened up a lot of dialogue between us as to giving him more freedom and responsibility.
It interesting as a mum when your discipline changes as they grow older and these shoes really reflect that dilemma.
I thought the 4 brothers would be fighting all the time so it was lovely to see them all getting on so well, you could feel the love they had for each other. Parents did a fab job & they should be very proud.
Last week was so heartwarming too, real love between siblings.
I think sometimes as parents we are too hard on ourselves & under estimate the abilities of our children.
