Could be a repeat - but well, who cares! Still good viewing. For anyone who cares BBC2, 8pm - who rules the roost.

(Sorry, don't normally get this wound up by the TV!)

I think I've seen this one 3 times now and i's still as shocking as the first time.

What a prck!

But, Oh! how amusing at the end whenhe admits how good she is.

Also love the camera shots around the house of mess mess and more mess when he's in charge after he's always nagging her about it.

PRCK!

Thanks

And he complained about not getting any sex and he said he resented carys for being born or something like that - just don't understand why she is with him. Is anyone watching the update ?

Hang on a minute - yes he's up his own ars* but he does have a point - there is no discipline in that house!

"I can't put her down she'll scream" Pleeeease! how to make things go from bad to worse in one easy lesson - let your kids rule YOU!

Bedtime is bedtime - the older one is certainly of an age to get the message - BED! NOW! the smaller ones SHOULD be too young AND too tired to argue - God! get a bloo*y grip woman! (or man!)

He was just a self absorbed waner - how they are still a couple beggars belief - yeah right - you'd really put with him going to the gym EVERY night - I thought modern women were supposed to smart, up front strong individuals - she's let him getaway with being a lazy bastad for far too long.

Quite frankly she seemed to glory in the chaos around her which made her indispensable - you can bet your boots there'll be no chaos at work. Children need discipline, order and guidance - they just looked bewildered all the time and no wonder!

This is the first programme in the series I've seen - I don't think I can take another!

I actually felt like crying over the way he treated the children. And when he said that he resented the fact that his daughter was born...in front of her! Awful, awful man. I would have left him ages ago. As for no discipline, er, when she ran the house, the kids went to bed on time and the house was pretty tidy. When 'Mr Order and Discipline' ran it there was total chaos.

I've just watched the BBC2 programme and the update on BBC3 and I'm speechless really.
It certainly puts any problems in our house into prospective.

I hauled dh off the pc to make him watch it.

Dump him I would say. He doesn't seem to contribute in any beneficial way to his kids, his wife or the house. Didn't the voiceover say he had only spent 2hours max at any time with them since they were born?!

And he was constantly running down the mum to the kids .

One thing that stood out for me was that when the mother came home in the evenings the children practically dived on top of her for hugs and kisses. When the father came home they didn't seem to move an inch. Very sad.
