Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over

Is anyone watching this?

On the W Channel.

Stacey spends three nights sleeping over in a unconventional family home.

This week is a open relationship couple with a child currently living with a girlfriend.

Really interesting. I couldn’t do it. Stacey says exactly what I’m thinking.

Interested what others think.

Just came on to find if anyone was watching!

I love Stacey Dooley documentaries - have just started this one, 5 mins in.

It's a mad situation. Do what you want but I feel bad for that poor boy having his unconventional family life on telly!!

Very different dynamic with a child involved

PreschoolYes · 05/09/2019 20:34

I watched this earlier, whilst I agree with her when she's going on about jealousy and being with one person only I couldn't help but think about her dumping her boyfriend for/cheating with Kevin Clifton!

I agree the dynamics change when there is a child involved.

I felt like the husband wasn’t as into the whole thing. He said quite clearly that he wasn’t having his child come from a broken home no matter what.

Strange the husband said about not wanting his son to come from a broken home but surely the instability of different people coming in and out could be more damaging?

That’s what I thought. The child had developed a bond with the other woman. They encouraged that bond very quickly as well.

I wonder how the child will view relationships when he is an adult.

Just typed out a long post about this week's episode and lost it,I'll try again.

The Saccone Joly episode- I had heard of the cold shower hoo ha but didn't realise it was them.

What a weird exsistance,can see all sorts of future issues there for the kids.

Anna seems very odd and vacant and just going through the motions. He seems,hyper and annoying and really didn't like Stacey questioning what they were doing, I liked how she gave back to him at the end.

And the whole nanny 'joke' Confused

I saw the bloggers one; fascinating...he had no answer to the pervert question did he? Like he hadn't thought about it at all? Odd.
Stacey seems lovely and very bright - she gets it but allows them to explain it to her, I like that.
What pressure they are under through to keep performing...

forevercurious · 12/09/2019 19:47

I’ve watched both episodes this evening, I absolutely love Stacey, she’s so honest and doesn’t hide her thoughts but comes across so well!

The vlogging couple seem so unmatched - her heart really isn’t in it and it’s all he focuses on sadly. It must be exhausting to live that ‘perfect’ existence day in and day out.

I thought the children hinted at the fact that the don't like all the filming (when they were at the farm)

MrsPellegrinoPetrichor · 12/09/2019 20:17

I thought the children hinted at the fact that the don't like all the filming (when they were at the farm) They couldn't have been clearer ,could they? Poor things.

avocuddl · 12/09/2019 20:25

Also what a horrible thing saying, we could stop filming you but don't you like the life we have provided for you, your private school etc. That shouldn't be at their expense

forevercurious · 12/09/2019 20:30

Yes I was quite taken back at that comment, the parents have chosen to put them in private school etc, young children have no concept of the cost of this and just know daddy always has the camera out.

MintyT · 12/09/2019 21:09

This family have a lot of bad press as they have use cold showers as punishment- they vlogged it - I'm surprised this was aired

It’s odd that the mum said they wouldn’t show tantrums etc and then (since filming this programme I assume) they had the cold shower situation.

Also when the dad says they film the smaller children know cause they’re babies and cute. I wonder if he can hear himself through his children’s ears?!

Just been having a nosey on Instagram,she has an eating disorder and says it's really quite bad and nothing is as perfect as it looks. Really odd,he's bobbing around being all zippy and happy and it seems she's crying out for help. And the cold shower thing,bloody hell!

MrsPellegrinoPetrichor · 12/09/2019 21:37

Fucking hell fire Shock

So your 2 year old is smearing shit everywhere and the only thing you can thing that works is a cold shower? I'd say the two year old is trying to tell you something. God almightyHmm

MintyT · 12/09/2019 21:37

It didn't seem a happy marriage to me judging from the show

MrsPellegrinoPetrichor · 12/09/2019 21:49

I don't think they spoke to each other the entire episode!

MrsPellegrinoPetrichor · 12/09/2019 21:52

And asking Stacey to do something with her hair ,bloody cheek! And the comment about nit being savages and using a plate for the takeaway. I like Stacey, she makes me laugh, she's very good.

MrsPellegrinoPetrichor · 12/09/2019 21:59

**not

Bloomburger · 12/09/2019 22:03

God the woman is a pointless vacuum. Wasn't she on question time and just sounded v v dim?

KimchiLaLa · 12/09/2019 22:04

I do like Anna. I think she really does love and prioritise her kids. He is a bit OTT.

KimchiLaLa · 12/09/2019 22:06

I actually think, watching it now, Jonathan talks a lot out of nervousness. He just yaps for no reason.

MrsPellegrinoPetrichor · 12/09/2019 22:08

No,he yaps because he thinks what he's saying is interesting.
