The Baby Has Landed

[Sotiredsomuch]

Anyone watching?

I love stuff like this.

I was glad they showed hermisha’s experience of struggling with how restrictive breastfeeding can feel.

Watching it now. The dogs are so cute and the roast dinner looks so yummy!

God poor Eilidh and family with a poorly baby

I'm hooked on this programme !

Hermishas family are lovely. She's. Lucky lady........I do think her and the boys would benefit if she came downstairs tho.

Mum of 5 is irritating. She needs to concentrate on the humans that she has before plotting more.........her husband has a permanent. ' how the hell did this happen 'expression.

Poor Eilidh :( such a lovely family. She's coping so well, especially as she has Asperger's too.

Feel really sorry for Mo. I think his MIL has her own reasons for wanting them to not progress and stay home.......2 weeks on and 2 weeks off working away isn't exactly extreme. He's extremely tolerant and probably a bit too mild mannered.

Love the gay couple and the bitching about the snacks. Reminded me of my OH and I

So it sounds like the two dads now both work part time? So pretty much the equivalent money as of one was working and one not anyway

I want Shabaz to be my husband!

No not part time, that’s just their shifts as they work OMG hours.

Oh so they'd normally only work half the month anyway?

Maybe they can't afford to take any time off then.

Just caught up on iplayer- Shabazz and Hermisha are lovely and their children adorable.

Really felt for the farming family- the mum is amazing and despite the fear, panic, hurt and upset she was going through, she handled things so well. Baby Peter won't remember any of this but the parents certainly won't forget what they went through. Wishing them all the luck for the future.

The twins dad's argument was one of the best I've ever seen- love it! Liked how they deescalated it the way they did! I must admit I've not been a fan of them at all up till now but that little segment made me warm up to them. Glad they showed Mel again and her family name has been honoured with the twins. Couldn't help but wonder how definitely on-board her husband wasn't/isn't.

As for Syler and her family- my opinion hasn't changed at all. There's a reason why families like that have a reputation. Her and her mum are awful. I thought Mo was an idiot for not taking the oil rig job- if he was offered it- but my husband thinks Syler and her mum have broken him down so much, he doesn't know if he's coming or going. Did anyone notice how the mum spoke to her husband (Syler's dad)? No wonder Syler barks at Mo :/ Their baby is beautiful.

@Dramaofallama- the early days/months are so tough. I completely get why one of the dads took some scissors to individually and precisely level the grass the minute his other half walked in! Newborns are all consuming :/

Agree there Tit. Sylers mum comes across as extremely manipulative and she's bloody good at it as well. 😳

I feel so sorry for Mo, he's probably wondering what the hell he's done coming to the UK to have two shrewish women pecking at him all the time........it's not a good look at all.

Ps. There is something seriously wrong in the couple with the 5 (soon to be 6 children) family. The husband's 'jokes' sound more like jibes and his smile never quite reaches his eyes. Also, she keeps looking over at him every so often to make sure he's okay/behaving! I've got a horrible feeling he's going to walk out on her one day because his life has moved so far away from what he wanted and morphed so much into her and her wants/desires. I hope I'm wrong.

thought Mumsnet was a place for support
Sorry I forgot mums aren’t allowed opinions...it’s a tv program!!
Ok let’s just be “they’re all so great hun” on every msg

As for Syler and her family- my opinion hasn't changed at all. There's a reason why families like that have a reputation

Families like what?

Perhaps the gay dads are doing a job share arrangement, two weeks each. I thought the biscuit 'row' was quite light hearted, prob for the cameras' sake. But their cake/biscuit habits and the size of that roast dinner (two yorkies) might mean they have to get larger size shorts/vest outfits soon .

The roast dinner looked absolutely yummy

Is 2 yorkies excessive? Dear God, you'd better now see how many we can put away

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor I was thinking the same thing

I was salivating when he was plating up the roast! 2 Yorkshire puds normal here. I take my hat off to anyone with new born twins who can get a meal Like that together.

When I saw @MrsPelligrinoPetrichors comment in the preview screen I had a five second fume as I thought she was referring to the two dogs as yorkies 😂

The family of 5 was the most disturbing family. Something very wrong there. The ridiculous apron nonsense. The constant need for another newborn.

Felt so sorry for poor Nigel. He is looking to the future and how he’s going to afford all the children when they are older. I think one day he will walk away. It isn’t he life he wants it’s so obvious.

I agree Dobby the arguments Helen's husband had for not wanting more children were dismissed immediately as "logistical". The logistics are bloody important! Helen's attitude seemed off. She was so focused on the short lived joy of being pregnant/ having a new born rather than considering the implications of producing and raising a person to adulthood.

That said, really enjoyed the programme and thought it highlighted the fact that there is no such thing as a perfect family.

Loved Shabaz and would like to see his "man lessons" rolled out nationally.

The apron thing though is completely her choice. She did it in front of the brownies/guides and in front of her in in laws. So that tells me she doesn't feel comfortable doing it in front of them. That's up to her so I think unfair to comment on that.

And the other baby thing I don't disagree really but the husband isn't putting his foot down! That's the problem!

Yes he needs to go and get a vasectomy. He is being so bloody passive! Take control of your own fertility! I think helen needs some form of counselling. There is an unresolved issue she is using babies to distract herself from. She needs to address it.
