I am five mins from the end of the prog, and have wanted to slap her for the last 20 minutes at least.....

I'm sure we'd all sling one up her after 6 pints or so, but to pay for that? No chance.

[The Ben]

haha true!

[sstein]

I've seen this advertised, what is it?

Is it like a big brother type show but one family, or is it a fiction but shot to look like a reality show?

[The Ben]

it looks real, they appear to be getting on with everyday life, unsuccessfully!!!

[tomTVR]

Probably wood the mum also for that matter

Actually this can't be real - they seem to have hired Shane Richie to play the dad..

[The Ben]

Except you wouldn't though. Not really. Would you? Really?

[BlueCello]

Watched it. Not sure if I like it yet though....

[Catz]

Hmmm ...

More "reality" TV.
Plus I noticed CH4 had it on at 9pm then again at 11, what's that all about?

Slap them all (eccept the son):
Husband - total limp dick
Wife - indulgent to the point that she cannot say no to her kids, cannot carry any threats through, and the kids know it!
Daughters - spoiled brats. It would do them a lot of good to find themselves on the streets & have to fend for themselves. Unfortunately, they have the measure of their parents & know it will never happen.
Son - poor sod. He would be happier at boarding school.

Basically FamilyGB 2008. God help us all!

Words distinctly lacking from the family vocabulary include;
responsibility
pay your way
maturity
no

If only the spineless git really had packed Emily's stuff into a bag & put it outside the door... we might have had an interesting documentary

Nothing new, in fact for this family a 19 year old problem. Parenting failure from day 1.

They give her a rollicking - tell her a few home truths, she turns on the waterworks, and parents relent and it is cuddles all round.

Later the same evening, she is off out again, and all back to square one....

Notice how the dad didn't get a lookin when telling the 19 y/o off? All mummy says this, mummy says that. Then Mummy sits her on her knee for cuddles and a cry! WTF! You've lost the plot big time there parents, she'll bleed you two dry in the future
