Anyone watching Super Nanny? OMG!

Where do they find these people?

I can't imagine having a kid that bad!

Are you kidding? I've got a few of those in my 1st grade classroom. My fellow teachers & I have laughed about a few of the families at our school who need the Supernanny..it's easy to tell which kids are allowed to rule the roost at home...it's the ones who have no repsect for authority & look at you like you're crazy for expecting them to follow a direction. There is at least one in every classroom. At least I have a principal though who supports me & the one in my room has already been suspended more than once this year due to "insubordination".

She is what is referred to in the black community as "one of Bebe's (pronounced bay-bay) kids" (a term for an extremely unruly child)

My dd who is the same age as this little girl could not believe that this girl bit and hit her mother as well as a guest in their home. She kept saying over and over, '...you and dad would NEVER allow me to act like that!'

what is the origin of this? i had co-workers who used this for years but had no idea where it came from.


p.s. they get the families because they apply on the network website, just like the families in wife swap and trading spouses. can you imagine "honey, our kids are so rotten they accepted our application!"

I saw it too!! That girl needs help from a doctor or something. Seriously. To have that much anger inside of her. She needs more than just supernanny.

I was in shock, what a twerp!!

 

[micki7337]

Honestly, I would be too embarrassed to even apply. I didn't hear any discussion that she had been seen/evaluated by a doctor for her anger. And it just seemed liked her parents sat and took it while she freaked out - even hitting the SN!

When I was a kid that would have been grounds for death! The more I watched I kept thinking that the parents must be on some type of medication to maintain their cool. I'd be a screamin' maniac and unfortunately I can't say that I wouldn't have pulled her across my knee and given her a good swat! I know, I know...nothing should justify corporal punishment but I really think I would have been at my wits end! Maybe if she was mine I would have shipped her off to military school!

I think that girl on this past episode needs a psych evaluation. I think she has some major anger/violence issues that need to be dealt with ASAP. I don't think sending her to the dining room for 9 minutes is going to do much. I do agree though that the parents need to be calm when dealing with her behavior.

The late comedian, Robin Harris (who died in the early to mid 90's) had a stand-up routine that dealt with him taking out a single mother. He had planned to take her and her ONE child to Disneyland. When he showed up at her house, there were three other children. Their mother (BeBe) left them with her best friend because she had to run some errands and couldn't take the kids with her. Anyway, she gave her friend something like $10 for all three kids to go to Disneyland. These kids were the baddest kids imaginable. His stand-up routine goes into how the kids basically wrecked the whole day (and the amusement park). There was a cartoon movie made--but it wasn't that funny, because another comic supplied Robin's voice (as he had died shortly before the film was made).

This reminded me of when my dh and I were dating, we took his sister and her two kids to the grocery store (she didn't have a car at the time). Anyway, the kids, maybe 5 & 7 at the time, started getting unruly in the store. Dh told them to stop acting like Bebe's kids. These fools started running around the store shouting "We're Bebe's kids, we're Bebe's kids...We don't die, we multiply." I promptly took my buggy and headed in the opposite direction from them as I didn't want anyone to think that I was with them. They are now 19 & 17; I wonder if they remember this.

You're going on the naughty mat for 8 minutes. I love Jo Frost, my dd 5 watches and comments on how bad the kids are.
