I can honestly say I have NEVER in my life seen kids anywhere near as badly behaved. They will end up in prison, no question.

I agree...

I'm also suprised by some of the voice over comments.. that child had been asked to sit down @ the table and repeatedly ignored the requests...

I'm glad I'm not their dad!

I'd better not reply with to this thread with my views as my mrs is already acusing me of over reacting.

let me just say that I havnt seen anything on TV that has made me this angry for years if ever.

They are going to grow up thugs terrorising anyone they meeet in their misserable lives.

and that nanny is having a go at the father for punishing the boys aarrrrrg

If the parents keep doing what has been taught them in how to handle the kids then I think they have been saved from growing up into little criminals.

I too was disgusted in how bad they were acting but hopefully that has been sorted now.

Because he was going about it all the wrong way. What she explained made perfect sense to me.

but those boys needed punishment. The mother was not being tough enough and letting the boys walk all over her. IMO he needed to give them extra. for god sake the eldest boy was fighting her and all she was doing was sayng please don't do that.

I see this kind of behaviour at the school gates when I pick my girls up.

child climbs on garage.
mother johny get down

little johny ignors her.

mother shouts johny get down 10 times then gives up and talks to her mates.

The first thing one little boy does when he comes out of the gates is kick his mother. she gives him a chocoalte he walks off then comes back when he want another one. does he ask? no he boots her in the leg.

edited to catch a few of the more obvious spelling misstakes

The mother seemed like a nice person, but unfortunately completely ineffectual and weak. I give it a maximum of two weeks before the little sods are back to their old ways.

I really hope this is the case mrs fish.
I also hope that they behave in school becuase if they don't its not just their own lives they disrupt its other children in the same class who also suffer. And I'm sure the teachers don't need that kind of hassle.

I hope the ending wasnt a show for the camera's to make it look all was well.

I didnt see the programme,but assuming all the kids where awful,and from the same family.
Has anyone checked why these kids behave like this.

I am the mother of a child who used to have the most hideous tantrums(much to the disgust of some parents)
I am not a poor mum or indeed my child is not a naughty boy.
He looks normal but in actual fact has autism.
I agree there are some awful kids out there spawned from equally bad parenting,but there are also others who behave they way they do because they have special needs that are being ignored.

sometimes please dont judge

jessica I understand what you are saying but once these kids got some discipline from the nanny they were fine.
I dont know much about medicaly caused behaviour problems but to me this does not sound like it could be a cause. willing to be corrected

as soon as the nanny went they were back to being naughty.

the cause IMO was a mother who saw punishment as meaning that she didnt love her kids and let them do whatver they wanted.

In which case blame the grandparents.........
all children take the mick and push as far as they can.
if this mother feels that way then it is probably down to how she was parented,
I know if i had behaved that badly i would have got a big slap.
nowadays you cannot legally do that
what is the world coming too.
no punishment so kids can do whatever they like.

None of this was about autism though, or bad kids, it was down to lousy ineffectual parenting. Kids are trained/conditioned like simple animals, monkey see/monkey do. When folks say its the parents, not the kids, this programme proves the point. Its the parents here who need help and guidance, not the kids, and that what the programme is all about, the parenting methods are changed, and hey presto! the kids are alright.

I only managed to catch snippets though, I couldnt watch it, I cant stand screaming kids!!!
