julieboo-LMAO!!! Mr.Noodle is an asian type noodles that come with a flavour packet. Takes only 3 minutes to cook then you add the flavour packet and it's done! All carbs and no nutritional value.(I usually add broccoli or egg.) Alphagetti-Is made for children...it's noodles (pasta) in the shape of letters (alphabet) and it's in a very sweet tomoto sauce. Very little nutritional value.

Looks like its the same as Ramen Noodles and SpagettiO's here in the US. I'll never forget going to a friend's house for lunch. She served her kid some kind of cheap chicken nugget, but the kid wanted grapes! Mom told her he couldn't have any grapes until he ate his chicken nugget. Just wondering.....is a hunk of pressed-and-formed-sort-of-chicken-meat-deep-fried-in-bread-batter really a better nutritional choice than grapes? Seems like the kid had better nutritional sense than mom!

After not watching SuperNanny for a few weeks I watched last night after watching The Bachelor. It seems children in England are no better behaved than children in the US. I shake my head in disbelief wondering what in the world is wrong with parents these days? Is discipline a thing of the past? Do parents actually allow their children to curse at them, spit on them, flip them the bird??? Do parents actually stand by and watch their little monsters deliberately pour liquid on the floor, pee on the floor, and try to break windows and doors? I know if I were their mom they'd have been introduced long ago to a bar of soap and the paddle. Sometimes I think parenting classes should be required before people are allowed to have children. That's really sad to see children running amok like that...I wondered what they were like in school all day, and I felt such pity for their teachers.

I felt kind of bad for the mom. She really had no clue, and KNEW she was clueless. She truly thought the only way to show love to her children was to NOT discipline them. I did like her attitude and willingness to change tho... so much better than the mom on Nanny 911 last night. God that woman was way worse then the kids.... Those boys are the spitting image of their dad...holy cow... what hellions!!!

Kep, I felt badly for the mom, but for another reason. There obviously was something in her past that caused her to think that her children wouldn't love her if she disciplined them. Those boys were absolutely the spitting image of their dad, even in behavior. I LOVED it when Jo got him to back down in the role playing when she towered over him and yelled! PRICELESS!!!

I know...I thought that was great!! Gotta love that dad tho. He was on board and willing to admit his failings right from the start. I think he was only doing what his parents did to raise him and really didn't know of any other way. And since his wife was absolutely NO HELP in the discipline area, I think he did the best he could. I really liked this family, even with their bratty kids. And I think they will change and the kids will too.

Those boys were AWFUL!!! I hope the girl gets enough attention in that house. I hope the boys and parents did change and are sticking with it.

I missed the show and managed to tape a small part of it when I woke up, before I went back to sleep. I missed the first two or few segments. I read in the nanny 911 thread that the mom didn't want help to come in or for the kids to be in daycare. From the little I saw, it seemed they had 2 sets of very young twins and the mom went out of the house for work. Did anyone else watch this? If so, can you please tell me about the show?

Anyone watch last night's show with the bratty tanturm throwing girls and the more well behaved (sweetheart) of a boy (older 7 or 8). This one had the mom doing a full time job at home while trying to take care of 3 kids 2 of which were terrors on wheels.

I watched it when it was on a few weeks ago. I am pretty sure there was some discussion in this thread about it. I remember feeling sad about the boy being blamed and getting no attention because the twins were getting all of it. It seemed much better at the end.

I fell asleep before Jo did her magic. Can someone post if the mom got outside help and what happened. Thanks.

i had to laugh at the end when dad said the family had made a complete change. "360 degrees". wouldn't that be back to where they started? i recall michelle saying that on big brother on the 'ex' factor series. she said she had done a complete change, 360 degrees, when i assume she meant 180....

Was this a rerun? The mom did not seem very bright at all-- Jo even said to her, "The lights are on but no one's home"! On their schedule, it showed that the 3-year old went to a daycare from 12 to 4 p.m., so with her 7-year old at school and 4 hours to herself during the day, how did the mom manage to justify doing absolutely nothing with her kids like playing or discipline? Blah. She didn't even make breakfast-- Dad did before going to work! Then when she is supposed to be taking the bottle away and replacing it with a cup, she just kept waving the bottle in her 3-year old's face so that he grabbed it and ran screaming with it every time. Obviously it never occurred to her to stop waving the bottle in his face! I really thought she was the worst. Really loved at the end, they're playing outside and it involves Dad and son pushing Mom in the swing. That's after Jo was trying to convince the mom that she needed to be more physically active and excited to play! Maybe it was a 360!

That bugged me too when she kept waving the bottle in his face. I thought it would have been much better to get it out of sight, then let him ride out his tantrum. It turned more into a taunt. See this bottle? You can't have it any more. This bottle, see...this one right here. See? See? This bottle.....blech! Oh, and all those scenes of the kid throwing tantrums in the bed before the head Nanny sent out Nanny Stella? I knew those would be scenes of the kid throwing tantrums while Nanny Stella was there. Mostly cause Mom was in the room on a chair trying to fend off the kid. You know she wouldn't be trying that technique before the Nanny got there. Both Nanny shows use the same scenes over and over throughout the episode. And shows them out of order and out of context. I wonder if they just have bad editors? Or do they think we're that stupid to not notice?
