Ohh yea, Supernanny has a lot to teach. Some good ideas about parenting, for sure. I don't know who I feel more sorry for- The kids because they're getting a lazy upbringing or the parents because they look so worn out from overextending themselves building a family. The episode that was on last night was just kind of sad. The two parents had their hands full with four children and they just looked older than they were. They looked like they'd survived some crappy war but were too worn out to give a damn about moving on with life. I couldn't help but wonder what beautiful happy souls they must have been when they first met. How all that love and spirit and joy was now completely gone from their marriage because the business of raising four undisciplined and wild children had killed them inside. I'm not saying this happens to every couple, but it sure as heck happened to them (And it was probably all their fault anyway). But yea, Supernanny also has the worst theme song ever. Ever
