I haven't watched the ep yet, but I am relieved to hear Mom doesn't freak out over food situations. I say this coming from a family where the mom would tackle you and squeeze your face and throat until you spit it out if she you saw you eating anything within an hour of dinner. She was absolutely nuts about food situations, and now that she is older she agrees and has told me many times that she is sorry.

I think they are a great family!!! I certainly hope I am not a 'certain people'. But, I would hope that even in liking them, I could point out something I disagree with.
I agree about picking battles, but disobeying and sneaking is one of the battles I fight.
Naja, it was the dad.

I got the feeling they were trying to show how easy it is for one kid to get past them since they have 10 and that is why one of the kids could sneak gum or one could sneak a Munchkin donut. They actually laughed about it which shows that it was not that big of a deal to them. I am just glad I did not see some major issue with the parents on this. I have never liked that kind of parenting myself and I think my daughter has turned out just fine :-) Naja, I think you will like this episode based on what you have experienced

I really feel like because I have said I like kate and jon the assumption is I don't like the Hayes family. That is patently untrue. I admire all these families..Duggars, Gosselins, Hayes, Rolloffs. They face challenges and obstacles I could never imagine. All in unique ways that work for their families. But, I certainly hope I can comment on things I differ in opinion on the same as others. I am certainly not sitting in judgement, but stating how my parenting choices are different.

I like all these different families with a gazillion kids. All these families take the parenting serious, as it should be.

Within these families I like certain parents better than others but at the end of the day they all kick booty as fine parents.

The Hayes seem very blue collar and down to earth and grateful to be able to make ends meet and even with the wealth that may come to this family from the show I think they'll put it to good use and not let their egos take over because of the fame that goes along with the show.

I was a bit disappointed that they did the dentist visit, since we've already gone through that chore with Jon and Kate, more than once.

Just a general note that it is perfectly okay to critique the show and the people in the show. It is okay to disagree with other Posters' comments about the show. However, it is not okay to bash other Posters. Thank you.

Oh the product placement had to come out tonight. Guess no way getting around it. Still loving this family because they I see so much love and don't see them getting upset at the little things. Betty looks pretty tired but her hubby is definitely there to help her quite a bit.

The more I watch them, the more I like them! I like how the parents don't whine or complain, they just deal with it all in a pretty calm not overwhelmed way. The ep. where they gave "babysitting" advice was funny. Betty said "you might tend to raise your voice" but they never actually show the parents really doing that much. The dad talking about having "help" was funny. Good editing showing some of the little kids shoveling snow at that point with funny remarks by the dad. These two parents are so honest yet don't seem put-upon or stressed out about any of it.

I missed it. I am having the hardest time figuring out when it's on! LOL I thought it was replacing Jon & Kate Plus 8's slot, but no. Then I made a point to watch one of the commercials and it said Tuesday night. I turned in, and it wasn't on.
I wonder if I am not am not paying attention to the time zone in the commercial?? LOL
I like them too.

I am with you Happymom, that is exactly why I love them. They are just so relaxed and they seem like such a happy, loving couple and don't let all the little things bug them. I hope they don't change over time.
Texannie, the original episode is on Mondays at 9, right after Little People/Big World.

Tex, if you have Comcast Cable and OnDemand, you can catch some (or maybe all?) of the eps. there. Most of what I've seen, I have seen there. My schedule doesn't allow me to watch tv on Mondays.

I LOVE this family!! I love how even when Betty has a "human" moment and inadvertently criticizes Eric,she is very conscious of it and corrects herself.I love how easy going they are.I love how Eric interacts with the kids,and how they truly do seem like a team. I really hate to bash the other family especially right now,but they are truly a polar opposite of the Gosselins. IMO

I love how many times you hear, I Love You in this show. They are just so much more relaxed and I hope they stay that way. Great seeing the older boys helping out. I also love seeing Betty get emotional about her kids.

I love how they let the little kids help cook if they want to...instead of totally blocking them out of the kitchen to keep them out of mom's way. I really love this family.

Handy???? He's totally awesome! Did Eric do all three projects in just one day off? Not to be critical of my DH, but I'm allowed to ask him to do only ONE chore per day off--and burning the trash counts as a chore if I ask him to do it. If he thinks of it on his own, it doesn't count!

I am just now watching their big trip shows.

Was that funny or what when after they did the walk over the rocks, the 12 year old boy seriously said "It was good exercise, but now my bunions hurt"..LOL I wish they would have gone further and asked him what bunions are, because I am curious what was really hurting...LOL

Kids are so funny.

SO DID I!!!!
Hubby wanted to know what was so funny and I said 12 year olds don't get bunions, only ladies who wore high heels.
