Every time Dan and I watch an episode of Super Nanny, it’s an hour spent going, “What the heck is wrong with these people?” Nine times out of ten, the issues with the kids misbehaving and not listening can be traced right back to the parents. Four year olds don’t refuse bed times, curse at their parents and kick, hit and spit at them unless they’re allowed to do it in the first place.
If I have ever doubted my ability to parent, Super Nanny and the little hellions and their lazy, irresponsible parents she deals with only reaffirms that I’m doing the right thing. Because let me tell you, the day will not come when my four year old or two and a half year old spits at me, hits me or curses at me!
Anyway. Today is quite the lazy day. I’m not doing much besides watching TV and flipping past commercials about strength equipment. Since coming back from Pittsburgh I have just felt so lazy and blah. I haven’t tackled the numerous writing projects waiting for me; I’m hoping I can get in the right “groove” and knock out at least one or two this afternoon or evening. My mother and I are supposed to see my thirteen year old brother today, but so far I haven’t heard from her. Tomorrow we’re seeing my eleven year old brother, and on Monday I’m probably going down to Philadelphia to see my dad for a few hours.
I have a few emails to respond to, and then I’m going to do the drawing for the Win a Peek giveaway. I meant to do it last night, but we got back from dinner late, and then I took my sister-in-law home and spent about an hour talking to her before coming back. Anyway, check back soon for the announcement of the winner! 
Even though I’m not a parent, I watch Super Nanny thinking the same thing. I don’t understand how parents let their children away with acting like complete brats – the kicking, swearing and demands of some of the toddlers on that show shocks me to the core.
Ooh, I don’t know if it’s under a different title now or not, but is that the same show as Nanny 911? It’s quite similar to what you’re seeing I believe. I watch it once awhile, and I agree that it is sad how parents are nowadays, and allowing their children become like that. I just hope that when I become a parent that I’ll do a heck of a lot better job then those parents on those Nanny shows.
Good luck, getting back into the grove of your writing projects!

I watch that show a lot. And any time I have doubts on whether or not I’m a good mom, that show just re assures me that I’m doing a good job. I can’t understand how some of these parents can let their kids get away with so much crap.
Yeah I can’t watch Super Nanny anymore. It’s too painful and sort of makes me lose faith in humanity.
