That is the most beautiful house I have ever seen! Gorgeous! And the kids have to be the most well behaved kids I have ever seen on that show!
How did you get your ex to agree to do the show? Or was he all for it. And when it was taped were you guys already filed for divorce, or knowing it was going that way. I don't want to be too nosey so please feel free to tell me to bug off!

I didn't actually ask...

He was pretty much doing anything and everything he could to keep me to stay, if ya know what I mean! I figured, well, if 8 million people can't make you change, neither can I. I rest my case!
Go to
youtube and in the search box on the top put the name of the show, the season (1) and the episode number (8)- that'll get ya what you want.
Sugarbees..... Your kids are beautiful and so are you btw. Do you still use the time out mat? What about Jo??? Get Christmas cards from her every year???
I KNOW! Isn't she gorgeous? And I've had to be her BFF for what? almost 15 years? (we must've met when we were 14, who knew AT&T hired such youngsters?) And she doesn't age

And her house she lives in now is even nicer (IMHO) than the old one (although that pool rocked). And it is interesting to see the kids behavior with their new(ish) "wicked stepfather"

He is about as wicked as Miss Cammie

I should find some photos from the "olden days" (like that vegas trip

)
Seriously, I JUST stumbled into YouTube for no apparent reason, and watched the "Show Which Can't Be Named" Season 1 Episode 8 - all 10 clips in order- and I can tell you with full authority on ill-behaved kids

that SugarBees kids are not only gorgeous BUT also VERY well behaved. Her NEW DH is MUUUUUUUUUCH better. Shhhhh! Not that I notice such things.
I'm off to smell the Yum Yum and set the table. And get through away snacks.
(Love You Sugar Booger!)
Really sugarbees, you are so pretty, to look like that after 4 children at that point and dealing with a husband who didn't give a rat about anything!
Sugarbees....I totally remember watching your episode when it aired originally and thinking that your children were not bad at all, just like everybody else's. I was surprised you were even on there. I too thought your ex was really lax about stuff. I know that lots of things are 'staged' for television but there was once a family on a different show and those kids, hubby were totally awful and that was real. Actually the mother was awful too but she was paitned in a different light. Since they were on the show, they've had 2 more children!
And yes, you are a beautiful woman and your kids were gorgeous then too!
I really love the way you are combining fabrics, I think it looks great!
You are funny!!! Of course, I had to go look it up right away too! I remember that episode, which is odd, because I don't watch many of those. It's on a channel that the rabbit ears don't pick up very well. I remember thinking how pretty that Mom was and how cute the kids were, and where did that little girl come from at the end! They didn't show your daughter much at all! My husband just sat here next to me watching it and he said, "Huh, I think I see why they got divorced!" He was referring to your ex-husband's attitude!
I know I've seen sites that tell you how to restring a doll. I will try to find them for you.
Lyddy wanted me to add some smilies:
Sugarbees-Just want to say you are very brave to share your family. I hope you all had a great experience! Sorry you were not being supported by your "partner"
why??
When you haven't brushed your hair - just pulled it back into a ponytail?
Aren't wearing makeup?? (nothing new there)
Are sweating from chasing a wee monkey around??
Pushing a preschooler in a pushchair - while carrying a toddler in a back carrier?
Oh and your wearing a tracksuit (not a fancy dancy one either)
Do you get interviewed for a television show??
Talk about embarrassing - and I said no - but they talk you into it.
Ah well - hopefully my embarrassed stammer stops them from airing it
Hehe - they asked me if I felt pressured to keep up with the "supermum" image - I laughed - seriously lady look at me do I look like a supermum??
I just said I don't care what other people think - I only care what make my girls happy
Thanks! I think you just made my day!
TOTALLY TRUE! You could EASILY Be a double for Anne Hathaway! What a cute family!
Okay, you guys are just WAY TOO NICE! Thanks sooo much for all the nice compliments!
I know people think I'm mental, and I suppose I am...it was a very random, sporadic decision..they saw us in the mall on Monday and we started filming that Friday...I think they do it on purpose so you can't change your mind or something! Anywho...it was an experience. There was one time though, when the producer, who I just loved, said, "you're just doing a really good job, you're already doing a lot of what Jo would recommend, so, do you think you could backtrack a bit?" He was a crack up.
My kids thought it was the coolest thing in the world, which is the main reason we did it. And, a last ditch effort by their father to show me how he could change

, yes, don't hurt yourself from laughing so hard!
AHHHH, well, I wouldn't change a thing because it got me where I am and I wouldn't trade that for anything!
And you guys have to know, I love you all DEARLY to share that with you because, as you know, we DO NOT speak of it....EVER!!!!!
Stay safe, Crystal!!!
Loved the kiddie pics Laura, as always!
LOVE the Pirate Baby outfit---GOODNESS! SOOO cute!!!
