Oh, I'm so happy my kids are mostly grown ;).

Great show. Loved how Hulk has the tracking device put on the car. And his son is too funny.

I guess I'm old school. If I have doubts about my children telling me the truth about their whereabouts...I'd send em to Brat Camp lol.

Seriously, I can't imagine getting to that point.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss but I do understand that there are kids that are completely out of control. But then why do these kids whose parents don't trust them have cars to galavant about. Just like parents who complain about their young kids clothing choices...well who the heck is buying them.

I once read a note that a boy wrote my daughter. I'm still feeling guilty about that.

i loved the show. i thought the family was terrific. You can tell that the parents have taken their roles very seriously. I thought the kids were great, not brats.

Let's face it, it's tough being a parent, period. And no matter how we do it, we'll always wonder if we should have done something different. You can have the best kid in the world and that won't stop them from being hit by a drunk driver or falling alseep at the wheel of the car and crashing or . . . . Well, you get my point. You can be 90 years old and still worry about whether they're happy in life.

I didn't watch this show but after reading the board, I want to catch it next time. I'm glad to see any type of parenting that is far removed from the Osbornes!

I just watched the first episode.

Wow! Brooke is beautiful. And she seems like such a sweet, kind and respectful girl. All of them seem like truly decent people.

To me, this show seemed a little too contrived--like Terry/Hulk was doing a fair amount of acting and playing up for the camera.

But between watching a bunch of likable people and being in awe of their house, I'd watch it again.

Watched the "Nicks Girlfriend" episode last night and I am in shock over how "normal" this family seems to be. I really like the parents~they all have a lot going on,but it is so obvious that they care so much for one another. Here are two children that from all looks of things can have any material posession they desire and yet they do not appear to be "spoiled brats" at all. I love that they saw they were drifting as a family and needed to have a family night to touch base with everything again. Love it. These kids are lucky to have parents that care so much.

Saw no mention in any of these posts the somewhat double standard regarding these two kids dating. Hulk put a GPS in his 16-year old daughter's car, yet seemed okay with his 14-year old son dating. Didn't catch the whole show so maybe I missed that part.
I like this show, and I'll keep watching.

Well Hogan had a point that boys don't get pregnant so there will always be a double standard imo. I know if I had girls I would be alot stricter with her than my boys.

He acknowledged the double standard, but also was not supportive about his son's relationship. And, they searched the kid's room, so not sure he is letting the kid skate.....

I thought mom and sis searching his drawers was hilarious! My mom found something illegal once in my dresser, and I remember telling her if she hadn't been looking she wouldn't have found anything and she wouldn't be as ticked off as she was. lol The next time she found a second "item", she made sure to point out she hadn't been looking...the dog had it out of my purse and was chewing on it. (She confiscated both "items"...lol)

I know how Brooke feels because that is the same way things were in my home when I was a teenager, but I understood why my parents did it and I understand why hers do. Sure it seems very unfair...and essentially it is. But they have her best interest at heart, and she looks like she understands that. They don't let the boy do what he pleases either. They searched his room and put a break on his relationship with that girl when they found out things were heavy.

They are just worried about her and don't want her to be taken advantage of I think. It is so much harder for a girl to recover from lies and even truths regarding promiscuos (Sp) behavior. Sad, but true....

Just watched my tape of the episode, and I, too, want to know what his son was doing driving a car at 14! Can you get your learner's permit at 14 in Florida? Maybe that's the deal, but I was a little shocked.

Glad the parents finally told that little girl (Ashley) to go home and spend some time with her family. I felt sorry for Hulk when he was all excited about spending an afternoon with his son, and the kid says, "Can I go home with Ashley, Dad?" Poor Hulk! I felt the knife in the heart, too!

Babyjax, you cannot legally get a learner's permit in Florida until you are 15.

I don't agree with a double standard for raising boys and girls in regards to different sets of rules. I think that it's disrespectful to women in general for them to allow their son more privileges than their daughter. They're saying that women can't be trusted. That they can't trust their child. If anything, I should think it would make her want to rebel against the injustice of it.

I don't like the way Hulk Hogan treats his daughter. He's way over-the-top. He may think it's funny, but it's controlling. I don't think that controlling equals love. I especially hated the way he would try to make an ally of his son, "should we let her go out to eat", as though the brother had a right to say.

That boy is a trouble-maker. He's cocky and arrogant, and I'd be a lot more worried about him, than I would of their daughter.

A normal teen-aged girl's reaction to her dad calling her every few minutes would be anger and resentment. Instead, she kept up her constant good cheer to placate him. I have the feeling she's done that a lot in her lifetime.

This family seems every bit as dysfunctional as the Osborne's. I don't think any family who truly cared about their children and put their interests first, would ever expose them to a reality show. It certainly didn't help the Osborne kids. Being a teen is hard enough, without the whole world seeing you say and do stupid things you later regret.

Scout, I totally agree about the double standard. My dad tried that with us (I have a brother two years older and a sister one year older) but I didn't let them get away with it, I bugged my dad until finally just to get me shut up he made the rules exactly the same for all of us.
It bugs me the mentality of some people "Girls can get pregnant boys cant"... the way I look at it if his daughter was to get pregnant she would stay pregnant for 10 months therefore only having one child, while his son could go out and get ten girls pregnant within that same 10 months.

I must be watching a different show. But those 10 girls aren't bringing the babies home to Hulk's house and that's where the different lies.

I have always said that it's somebody's son getting my girl pregnant! LOL While I do think Terry is having different set of rules on some things for each kid, I don't think he is being biased towards one kid over the other. My kids have different rules from each other. Some based on the fact that one is a boy and the other is a girl, some based on the fact that one is 15 and one is 11, some based on the fact that one child has never ever lied to me and the other has had some 'issues' with the truth, and some based on the fact that I was stricter with the oldest cause he was the first and a little more laid back now with the 2nd. Just like you don't love each child exactly the same, NOT more than the other, just differently based on their personality and their needs, but you DO love them. You parent each child differently based on who they are and their needs.

Texannie, I agree with you that parents do treat different children differently, whether or not they mean to. My parents were way, way more strict with my two olders sisters than with my brother and me. There was a seven-year gap between the older two and the younger two (my mom was holding out for a house before they had any more babies!), and in addition to being way more lenient/relaxed with my brother and me, I think they let me do a lot more than they let my brother do, cause I was not only older than him but more responsible. There was never a mention of "girls can get pregnant" in our house (probably cause my parents didn't want to think about us having sex before marriage!), but I did get the old, "I trust you, but I don't know if I trust the other kids." I do agree that parents should treat their children differently according to their needs. Thank goodness we just have the one!
