@@CalebDell This feels more dramatised and staged than anyhting Jo has been involved with before.

It just feels overly staged in presentation. And if you tuned in to watch Jo live with and speak to a family, whatever connection she made is overly edited for drama... blame the studio
I'm just now discovering she re-started the show and its already over for 1 season? This is injustice! The world needs her! She is the epitome of leading by example!
She also did some crime reports, maybe all of them involving kids. The way she reports these is freaking respectable and you can FEEL her sorrow for not only the child who lost control, but the victims as well. She's super passionate about these topics and I honestly love that.
@@reabetswemontshioa1460 so happy to learn that u try to make a better person out of your kids, i have seen mothers neglecting their kid's manner and then people refer to their kids as bad company which is extremely dangerous for the kids themselves
I feel like Julie the mom was the worst in this episode, Don definitely had problems but her downright admitting she didn’t love her step kids in front of them and then the soccer argument. I feel like she definitely contributed to the girls problems
Yeah, exactly. Plus, if you notice Don's kids are very in tune with their emotions and don't really have issues, yet it's Julie's kids that are full of attitude, disrespectful etc.

When Emily came into mums bedroom, it was obviously that she wanted some love and maybe a cuddle. Mum chose the wrong time to declare that she was invading her space.
I think it can be hard to forget that this is an edited show. I'm sure she had a lot to work on, but she also invited someone into her home and seemed to make a big effort - which in itself is an admission of fault. Also, this mama has a lot of trauma. She lost her baby in an accident in her home. She probably found him. And she sounds like she went through a lot with her other son.
I can’t believe as a parent the dad would stay with a woman that says right in front of his kids she doesn’t love them and her daughters are out of control why would he make his kids live in that smh
Yea the mom is a big chunk of the problem, tells his kids in front of them she doesn’t love them the same and tells dad he doesn’t either even though he is disagreeing with that. She probably doesn’t want him to discipline her kids or it’s picking on them as well.
I agree she's a narcissist, jo frost won't be able to help . The narcissist has to be thrown out and never be allowed with the family again. Only then can Joe help and the dad be a single father to all the kids
I think it could possibly be complex trauma and we shouldn’t really judge where this comes from. Experiencing trauma can totally lead to “narcissistic” like traits since sometimes you try to control more or you’re forced into being self centred in order to self preserve and just make it through the day. I think she maybe needs a lot of personal therapy.
I get the whole his kids her kids argument cuz his kids are way more well behaved and raised. Her kids are the typical single mom kind of kids. Unruly entitled spoiled brats with no idea what respect and responsibility are.
Those two girls were very disrespectful and smirked all the time but if you watched their mother she had that smirk too. I felt for the two older boys who really struggled. I’m glad Jo stuck with it and hope the family will pull together from now on.
The moms smirk and the daughters came from wildly different emotions though. The girls were defiant, angry, hurt, and trying to get negative attention because they want ANY attention possible. The moms came from pure utter embarrassment.
Well, my parents dachshund runs and hides under the bed or, depending on how loud my dad is being, he'll (the dog) bark at him. If my room door is open, he might come hide in here.
All poor little critters, from dogs RIGHT DOWN to spiders, are with crisis psychologists now!😂 No, seriously. Animals get to feel distress, when people around them act like this! Shame on these childish grown-ups!😢😡
Imagine that your mother's words of love for you are "I gave up about a year and a half of my life for you, and you know that, so you know I don't dis-love you".
I'm so full of admiration for you Jo, you showed the family what was going wrong, and gave them the tools to change their lives. This is my favourite video xx
We should be more empathetic to those who haven’t learned to communicate and self regulate. Even adults. These issues are far deeper than what we are seeing. Good on her for trying.
THANK YOU FAMILY, for being so vulnerable and sharing your story with all of us. You are helping so many families and so many people by allowing us to view this very difficult process. God Bless You, Joe. ❤❤❤🙏
I honestly think a large part of the issues in this house is the mom. She's this weird mix of combative and argumentative but also a doormat. I hope this family is doing well, but I can't imagine the outlook is good.
I don't think she is ever a doormat , she quits because it is not what she wants to do anymore. Remember she told her son, 'I gave up a year a half of my life for you', which means she feels that taking care of him took away from her. Taking the time to follow through also takes away from her time.
@BJ-bc7sl Every time the father said anything, the mother jumped on him and stomped all over him. When they went in to the room to talk to the kids about not cleaning their rooms, as soon as the father starts talking about consequences, the mother steps in and totally undermines him.
I feel so bad for the emotional son. That poor kid. You can tell he's a sweet, sensitive boy. I want to take him in and help him, it's so heartbreaking. Same for the other boy that's been sober for two years. He needs stability to keep his sobriety!! Also, this right here is why I would never remarry if my husband died, at least until my own kids were grown and out of the house. It's so hard to blend a family.
I think the mother talked to her daughters in an incredibly rude and disrespectful manner. That's where the girl's learned how to communicate. I also don't think Jo called the mother on her attitude and communication.
I always seem to gravitate to the one child that was ignored in the episode. The one son especially at the end Jo talked to and hugged everyone but him. I noticed he was walking back and forth behind his parents and he was the only one that walked Jo to the door. Bothered me a lot.
I’m sure Jo would not have ignored him, she would have said bye just like she did to everyone else but the show has edited it out as that son must not of had behavioural problems like the other children so he wasn’t part of the show (there usually at least one child like this!)
No. The look on his face said it all. He didn't feel included. I feel bad for him. His name was barely mentioned. Do I need to go back to the beginning of the episode to find out what his name is? He's another quiet one. I hope they remember his value before they spend too much time patting themselves on the back. He needs to know he's not invisible and that he's a valued member of that family.... yep, all the way back to the beginning. His name is Justin.
I often think of what they don’t include in the episodes. Maybe they had some amazing talks that were too deep and personal to show. Maybe they had a close bond but he didn’t want that on tv. Have to take editting into account- even if just for length. Given Jo’s character, I don’t think she’d omit him. ❤
I think that the mom had a bit to drink by the time the soccer issue comes up. She really was odd there and changed character. That to me says a lot about the children and their choice in doing drinking and drugs, not only the dysfunctional aspects of the parents relationships.
When you have narcissistic parents it makes your childhood hell. I grew up in a household similar to the way this family is, and it feels like the whole world is on top of you and you can’t breath.
This is why I've been a single mom for the last 14 years. My kids are 16 and 19 yrs old. I focused on being the best parent I could be. I can tell you my kids have NEVER spoken to me or acted with such disrespect. 😳 This is the result of bad parenting! This temporary truce won't last, I give it 6 months. Those two "adults" need to separate and focus on rebuilding their relationship with their own children first. 🤦🤦
As soon as the mum said about losing her first son, a lot of her actions made more sense. You could see the guilt she felt whenever she had to do some that she felt “hurt” her girls, I can only imagine the feeling of losing a child, she clearly cares, just didn’t know how to balance showing she cared + disciplining + balancing a blended family. I think it was a bit harsh of people saying it was her fault but unless you’ve lost a child, especially under the circumstances of a household accident, there is no way you can understand the trauma she’s been through that has lead to be the parent she was at the beginning letting her kids walk all over her.
The kids are obviously uncomfortable having their family difficulties filmed on camera for the world to see. These kinds of issues should be dealt with in private
No offence but, the parents are also acting like kids themselves, I thought there meant to set a good example for their children. Luckily Jo frost has came to the rescue ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was a real family with problems , you managed to get each ones point of view and work out what put them back together , on the same wavelength vey good episode . Amazing
Jo Frost is truly amazing! She is still having to deal with BRATS. These parents are truly CHILDISH and definitely shouldn’t have gotten together. But now they are, and the kids are the ones who are suffering the most. I mean when a 16 yr old acts the way Amber does, it’s a real problem. These girls are just mean and nasty to their Mom. And the one son who is what 17 or 18, and he’s already a drug and alcohol addict. They need serious family counseling.
I wouldn't say they're mean and nasty, they're simply retaliating. They've so obviously lost all respect and trust for their mother and I don't blame them. I would if my mum videoed me like that and violated me.
As soon as I heard the mother stonewalls the father for weeks … she’s the problem. That’s so effing emotionally abusive. That’s next level twisted and manipulative. Oh, and telling her step kids that she doesn’t feel love for them … and blaming it on the father … sooooooo effed up. Some people are not built to be parents.
It's not a skill you are born with. She seems extremely damaged, and has passed it on, but she also seems to be making an effort. She needs some deep heart and head work.
12:48 you can tell that’s not the way the mom ever handles those situations she was definitely putting on a show for Jo, not excusing the kids behavior but kids are a reflection of their parents
Thank GOD she said, "When there's bad behavior in the house, it usually comes from the top." The parents don't love and respect each other and the kids feel it.
There was one son who was completely left out of all interactions as if he wasn't part of the family. He just floated around in the background. What's up with that?
How anyone can watch supernanny and not realise the golden rule. Boundaries Boundaries Boundaries. That kid even said it to his mom. ' I've craved this...' It's not some new concept! It's called parenting!!
Very powerful show! Hats off to Joe, I remember my mom advising me and my husband to never leave a house when we are angry at one another. Awesome advice, and it has worked for 34 years!
Mom saying “ I feel bad that I have a daughter that talks to me like this” as if that wasn’t her job to raise her right and let her know that she can not speak to adults like that. The whole video made me mad her just chasing her kid around I feel like these kids run away so much cause their parents don’t let them actually cool down they are “helping telling them to calm down” but in reality kids are people too and sometimes they need space time to themselves in a room they cant leave long enough for them to cool down and just watching how the parents chase them and hover is just so unnerving its like how can they be so helicopter but also never out their foot down and allowed so much to hapoen😳😳😳
The kid is BEGGING not to he smothered only to he smothered even more. That's a kid who will have to go no contact if the mother never learns to respect her boundaries. And parents wonder why their grown kids want nothing to donwith them!
LITERALLY like when the dad went into Amber's room to tell her about deep breathing when she was told to take five minutes???? let her take five minutes by herself, even she wanted him out to calm down, jeez
Wow. That was a rollercoaster ride of emotions; I'm exhausted! Certainly, there was a huge difference in the atmosphere at the end, and the faces of all family members were much less stressed and tense compared to the start of filming. It must feel so invasive having a film crew watching your every move and knowing that the whole world will judge and comment on you forever too, however, it has hopefully brought the permanent change they all desired. I wish them all the best for their future happiness.
It breaks my heart how parents can ruin their kids, and foster such an unhappy home. I see this family and I use it as an example of everything what not to do!
They struggled to say if they love each other, but quickly answered "No" when asked if they respect each other. I really don't understand why they got married in the first place.
It’s very rare I think this, but I don’t think this family is fixable. I think everyone needs to split up. It seems terrible living in a house like this.
Unfortunately I agree, the kids r probably gonna thrive the second they're out of that house. The parents r the problem and now its obviously effected the kids aswell, so they're acting out. Its really sad and i get it
I’m all for parents being involved in their children’s lives but I do see why these kids are getting upset. The parents are sometimes over involved and somewhat smothering. As a teenager I was the same way, you couldn’t force me to have a conversation with you when I was mad and I would blow up. A healthy amount of space and a conversation when both parties were willing made a big difference.
Well said. My Mother would eavesdrop on me. It felt like "a lack of trust" as well as invasive. Now my daughter is "the age.". It is so hard to let it go, but necessary. I was reminded "trust, you raised me, now trust me." True that
I feel sorry for the kids. They're obviously hurting from divorces and arguments and however their parent's previous relationship was with their biological mum and dad. They lash out cos they're hurt
Awww I just wanna hug Derik right now. Because I’m in that exact same position as him in my own dysfunctional family. Trying to keep peace to my family, protect the ones I love, and hopefully one day this family I have will become loving and caring to each other and not yelling at each others throats all the time calling each other racial slurs.
The mum has behavioural similarities that relate to my family...so glad i got out when i did. Narcissistic abuse is hell to walk out of but yet once sweet freedom and victory have been earned by walking out and not giving into their triggers, it is so freeing an even better with God by your side through it.
Jo says it's either anger or hurt but 99% of the time anger begins as hurt and stays that way and builds up. If you peel the layers back the majority of anger begins with hurt.
It’s actually interesting that the husband says the mom stone walls him for days whenever he wants to talk about something. She says he’s annoying smothers him calls her 27 times but she has a daughter that does exactly the same thing stonewalling walking away leaving while she chases her around trying to get her to resolve an issue. I wonder where her daughter learns it from. Ironic really.
I'm in tears 😭 having give teens in the household and it being a blended family would be difficult. So so happy they were all able to connect with each other in a better way and make a happier household for them all. Thank you for sharing your life and journey with us 🤗
The camera man shifting the video to “daughter is a gift from God” sign as the kid is screaming was a work of art
When the son tells his mom "good job" for actual parenting. Broke me.
Can’t believe this was only on for one season… seeing Jo Frost curse at the family is what I feel we’ve all wanted to see for years!!

Never ever tell an very upset person to calm down and expect it to work. It just escalates the out of control emotions.
Totally agreed! I've had it happen to me a lot and it makes my blood boil every time.
The worst thing you can say to an agitated person is “calm down”. It has the opposite effect
And do not send them to their room just to follow them there

This mother needs to shut up. She seems to have to be right. She is the problem because she doesn't want to admit she's wrong !
When Emily came into mums bedroom, it was obviously that she wanted some love and maybe a cuddle. Mum chose the wrong time to declare that she was invading her space.
This mom is pathetic a RIGHT fighter at its finest!
I think it can be hard to forget that this is an edited show. I'm sure she had a lot to work on, but she also invited someone into her home and seemed to make a big effort - which in itself is an admission of fault.
Also, this mama has a lot of trauma. She lost her baby in an accident in her home. She probably found him. And she sounds like she went through a lot with her other son.
Everyone in the entire world needs a SUPER Nanny HUG. ❤
I totally agree ❤❤
Need 50 of em myself! 🤗 would give anything to sit with her and tell her my family dynamics 😅 Come to Canada 🇨🇦 #SuperNanny tell me what to do better!
I can’t believe as a parent the dad would stay with a woman that says right in front of his kids she doesn’t love them and her daughters are out of control why would he make his kids live in that smh
Yea the mom is a big chunk of the problem, tells his kids in front of them she doesn’t love them the same and tells dad he doesn’t either even though he is disagreeing with that. She probably doesn’t want him to discipline her kids or it’s picking on them as well.
@majest😢icmythicalsart7563
I agree!!!
Not easy being step parent...I don't believe she doesn't live them I think she's just frustrated
S x?
The mom is the issue. All the problems involve the narcissistic mother. If the mom isn't happy then no one is allowed to be happy.
I agree she's a narcissist, jo frost won't be able to help . The narcissist has to be thrown out and never be allowed with the family again. Only then can Joe help and the dad be a single father to all the kids
Don't say that, no mom wants to be this terrible at parenting, it's just hard and she's trying to get help
The dad is also bad
@@journey_anderson yes, it takes two to tango
I think it could possibly be complex trauma and we shouldn’t really judge where this comes from. Experiencing trauma can totally lead to “narcissistic” like traits since sometimes you try to control more or you’re forced into being self centred in order to self preserve and just make it through the day. I think she maybe needs a lot of personal therapy.
Don & his kids are the mature empathetic people. Julie & her kids are the issues. I’m glad they made it back together
I get the whole his kids her kids argument cuz his kids are way more well behaved and raised. Her kids are the typical single mom kind of kids. Unruly entitled spoiled brats with no idea what respect and responsibility are.
I totally disagree. Don is the problem. His kids are so broken because of his behavior.
@@BJ-bc7slamber is a demon on earth. No one is as bad as her. She is out of control.
@@christycrump-w4nI was a single mom and my kids didn’t behave like hers at all…
@@BJ-bc7slhis kids are broken because they’re living in chaos something they’re not used to…
The one son who doesn't like the fighting is an empath and negative enemies really truly are uncomfortable and it's sad he can't be at home at home
okay but i’m so sorry for Chad, having his close friend passing away from drug overdose, that must’ve been hard for him, rest in peace to that friend.
Those two girls were very disrespectful and smirked all the time but if you watched their mother she had that smirk too. I felt for the two older boys who really struggled. I’m glad Jo stuck with it and hope the family will pull together from now on.
The moms smirk and the daughters came from wildly different emotions though. The girls were defiant, angry, hurt, and trying to get negative attention because they want ANY attention possible.
The moms came from pure utter embarrassment.
How do the animals in the home deal with the outbursts and loud screaming 😢
Well, my parents dachshund runs and hides under the bed or, depending on how loud my dad is being, he'll (the dog) bark at him. If my room door is open, he might come hide in here.
They get Anxiety just like humans do!! ....its horrible 😢
The anxiety rubs off on the pets & creates more problems.
Probably have anxiety ❤😢
All poor little critters, from dogs RIGHT DOWN to spiders, are with crisis psychologists now!😂 No, seriously. Animals get to feel distress, when people around them act like this! Shame on these childish grown-ups!😢😡
Imagine that your mother's words of love for you are "I gave up about a year and a half of my life for you, and you know that, so you know I don't dis-love you".
Yup, blackmail or what?! A year and a half????
Was so fu
I definitely think the mother could've chosen her words better-
She is doing the best she can…nobody is perfect and we all parent from different lenses! Give grace!
@eboneeprice9908 irrespective.. statements like the mother said,can do SERIOUS emotional damage. Grace should only be given where it's due
I'm so full of admiration for you Jo, you showed the family what was going wrong, and gave them the tools to change their lives. This is my favourite video xx
Derek is crying out for some mum type love, how can she not give that! He is a wonderful lad.
Being a teenager and screaming like a toddler when’s your upset is crazy
Not learnt to self regulate
Doesn’t know better, bad parenting.
@@Julie-si3hithis
We should be more empathetic to those who haven’t learned to communicate and self regulate. Even adults. These issues are far deeper than what we are seeing. Good on her for trying.
It's not that crazy when your parents have consistently acted like babies themselves.
THANK YOU FAMILY, for being so vulnerable and sharing your story with all of us. You are helping so many families and so many people by allowing us to view this very difficult process. God Bless You, Joe. ❤❤❤🙏
I honestly think a large part of the issues in this house is the mom. She's this weird mix of combative and argumentative but also a doormat. I hope this family is doing well, but I can't imagine the outlook is good.
The husband is the problem. He’s controlling, immature, emotionally bankrupt, and annoying.
Passive aggressive?
I bet their exes are laughing at how much they deserve each other, unless their just worried about their children’s distress
I don't think she is ever a doormat , she quits because it is not what she wants to do anymore. Remember she told her son, 'I gave up a year a half of my life for you', which means she feels that taking care of him took away from her. Taking the time to follow through also takes away from her time.
@BJ-bc7sl Every time the father said anything, the mother jumped on him and stomped all over him. When they went in to the room to talk to the kids about not cleaning their rooms, as soon as the father starts talking about consequences, the mother steps in and totally undermines him.
Bro the girl is a brat cause her mother is too🤦♀️
I feel so bad for the emotional son. That poor kid. You can tell he's a sweet, sensitive boy. I want to take him in and help him, it's so heartbreaking. Same for the other boy that's been sober for two years. He needs stability to keep his sobriety!! Also, this right here is why I would never remarry if my husband died, at least until my own kids were grown and out of the house. It's so hard to blend a family.
That mum has no heart. She has a defiant attitude. She knows more
😊l maybe wrong about this mum. ????
Mum and dad get it together
Yep, which explains why her daughters are that way, too. That’s who they get it from.
She’s narcissistic in the way she communicated
Also, they literally never even mentioned who that other kid was even though he was just there…
I think the mother talked to her daughters in an incredibly rude and disrespectful manner. That's where the girl's learned how to communicate. I also don't think Jo called the mother on her attitude and communication.
I always seem to gravitate to the one child that was ignored in the episode. The one son especially at the end Jo talked to and hugged everyone but him. I noticed he was walking back and forth behind his parents and he was the only one that walked Jo to the door. Bothered me a lot.
I’m sure Jo would not have ignored him, she would have said bye just like she did to everyone else but the show has edited it out as that son must not of had behavioural problems like the other children so he wasn’t part of the show (there usually at least one child like this!)
No. The look on his face said it all. He didn't feel included. I feel bad for him. His name was barely mentioned. Do I need to go back to the beginning of the episode to find out what his name is? He's another quiet one. I hope they remember his value before they spend too much time patting themselves on the back. He needs to know he's not invisible and that he's a valued member of that family.... yep, all the way back to the beginning. His name is Justin.
I often think of what they don’t include in the episodes. Maybe they had some amazing talks that were too deep and personal to show. Maybe they had a close bond but he didn’t want that on tv. Have to take editting into account- even if just for length. Given Jo’s character, I don’t think she’d omit him. ❤
There was a girl ignored as well and I don't even remember her name. There was 3 girls and 3 boys..
That bothered me too.
I think that the mom had a bit to drink by the time the soccer issue comes up. She really was odd there and changed character. That to me says a lot about the children and their choice in doing drinking and drugs, not only the dysfunctional aspects of the parents relationships.
I agree she's in something for sure!!
Right?! Def a stimulant, good ol’ “mom’s little helper” sniff sniff
When you have narcissistic parents it makes your childhood hell. I grew up in a household similar to the way this family is, and it feels like the whole world is on top of you and you can’t breath.
This is why I've been a single mom for the last 14 years. My kids are 16 and 19 yrs old. I focused on being the best parent I could be. I can tell you my kids have NEVER spoken to me or acted with such disrespect. 😳 This is the result of bad parenting! This temporary truce won't last, I give it 6 months. Those two "adults" need to separate and focus on rebuilding their relationship with their own children first. 🤦🤦
6 months is GENEROUS. having grown up in a household like this i give it max 4 days lmao
Amen
PREACH mama! ❤
As soon as the mum said about losing her first son, a lot of her actions made more sense. You could see the guilt she felt whenever she had to do some that she felt “hurt” her girls, I can only imagine the feeling of losing a child, she clearly cares, just didn’t know how to balance showing she cared + disciplining + balancing a blended family. I think it was a bit harsh of people saying it was her fault but unless you’ve lost a child, especially under the circumstances of a household accident, there is no way you can understand the trauma she’s been through that has lead to be the parent she was at the beginning letting her kids walk all over her.
That part made me 😭
One could also argue a child wouldn't have been able to pull that piece of furniture onto himself if he was properly being watched.
It only takes seconds, less time than going to the bathroom
Ur kids are drinking and do drugs bc all the parents do is scream and yell at each other
The kids were getting high BEFORE they got together!! 🙄 ALWAYS a reason!!! 🙄
The kids are obviously uncomfortable having their family difficulties filmed on camera for the world to see. These kinds of issues should be dealt with in private
Well they could have acted right before it got to this point 🤷♀️
10000%
I agree.
But thats on the Patents. Jo also works without tv. They chose for it to be on tv
@@graciedancer3952 Maybe they chose to do that because it wouldn't cost them any money.
Did Jo just drop an F -bomb?? Wow. She must be hella pissed!
I seen her do this a few times it’s rare she does it but she will do it if you push her
No offence but, the parents are also acting like kids themselves,
I thought there meant to set a good example for their children.
Luckily Jo frost has came to the rescue ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was a real family with problems , you managed to get each ones point of view and work out what put them back together , on the same wavelength vey good episode . Amazing
Agreed. 👍
Jo Frost is truly amazing! She is still having to deal with BRATS. These parents are truly CHILDISH and definitely shouldn’t have gotten together. But now they are, and the kids are the ones who are suffering the most. I mean when a 16 yr old acts the way Amber does, it’s a real problem. These girls are just mean and nasty to their Mom. And the one son who is what 17 or 18, and he’s already a drug and alcohol addict. They need serious family counseling.
I wouldn't say they're mean and nasty, they're simply retaliating. They've so obviously lost all respect and trust for their mother and I don't blame them. I would if my mum videoed me like that and violated me.
As soon as I heard the mother stonewalls the father for weeks … she’s the problem. That’s so effing emotionally abusive. That’s next level twisted and manipulative. Oh, and telling her step kids that she doesn’t feel love for them … and blaming it on the father … sooooooo effed up. Some people are not built to be parents.
It's not a skill you are born with. She seems extremely damaged, and has passed it on, but she also seems to be making an effort. She needs some deep heart and head work.
The father is a good father🎉 I saw no faults in him but just raw emotions
Those two daughters are carbon copy of their mom. Why does she expect any other behavior from them???
She thinks she’s god
Being a loving parent means you do what's best for your child in the long run, no matter how hard, even if it is not what makes you popular.
Thank you to all the family for being vulnerable on televisión, cause this helps a lot of families 🙏
Blessings to the entire fAmily.❤
You know shit gets real when Jo starts cussing and yelling at the parents
12:48 you can tell that’s not the way the mom ever handles those situations she was definitely putting on a show for Jo, not excusing the kids behavior but kids are a reflection of their parents
I love this woman; she is truly an amazing person.
Thank GOD she said, "When there's bad behavior in the house, it usually comes from the top."
The parents don't love and respect each other and the kids feel it.
Julie and her kids sucks. But I think Don has issue as well. Don kids are the only mature ones in this family. It's sad.
I am just so overjoyed to see Jo back! I’ve missed her. ❤
He acts out the least
There was one son who was completely left out of all interactions as if he wasn't part of the family. He just floated around in the background. What's up with that?
Maybe he just felt especially uncomfortable with the cameras
Super nanny laughing when she asked if they get an allowance for the chores 💀
How anyone can watch supernanny and not realise the golden rule. Boundaries Boundaries Boundaries. That kid even said it to his mom. ' I've craved this...' It's not some new concept! It's called parenting!!
Very powerful show!
Hats off to Joe, I remember my mom advising me and my husband to never leave a house when we are angry at one another.
Awesome advice, and it has worked for 34 years!
Mom saying “ I feel bad that I have a daughter that talks to me like this” as if that wasn’t her job to raise her right and let her know that she can not speak to adults like that. The whole video made me mad her just chasing her kid around I feel like these kids run away so much cause their parents don’t let them actually cool down they are “helping telling them to calm down” but in reality kids are people too and sometimes they need space time to themselves in a room they cant leave long enough for them to cool down and just watching how the parents chase them and hover is just so unnerving its like how can they be so helicopter but also never out their foot down and allowed so much to hapoen😳😳😳
The kid is BEGGING not to he smothered only to he smothered even more.
That's a kid who will have to go no contact if the mother never learns to respect her boundaries.
And parents wonder why their grown kids want nothing to donwith them!
LITERALLY like when the dad went into Amber's room to tell her about deep breathing when she was told to take five minutes???? let her take five minutes by herself, even she wanted him out to calm down, jeez
being a parent needs a spine of steel, guts and integrity. Parenting is not for the fainthearted and weak. Luckily there is Super Nanny to teach.
Wow. That was a rollercoaster ride of emotions; I'm exhausted! Certainly, there was a huge difference in the atmosphere at the end, and the faces of all family members were much less stressed and tense compared to the start of filming. It must feel so invasive having a film crew watching your every move and knowing that the whole world will judge and comment on you forever too, however, it has hopefully brought the permanent change they all desired. I wish them all the best for their future happiness.
Between Jo swearing and pushed the camera man out of the way you knows it’s a crazy episode
timestamp?
@@charlyfooty065643:32
That push was awesome! 😂
@ time stamp??
@@charlyfooty0656 I can't be bothered to check; why don't you just watch it?
Who in their right mind would think putting 6. teens as a blended family would work 😮😫
Man. My family needs this. I’ve been wanting someone like Jo to intervene for ages, because we have so many deep issues, but everyone is… just. 🤦♀️
Jo frost really is a modern day "Mary poppins" and "Nanny mcfee" rolled into one amazing lady ❤
Yeah I hope so
It breaks my heart how parents can ruin their kids, and foster such an unhappy home. I see this family and I use it as an example of everything what not to do!
It´s astonishing how bad the mother is in communicating to teenagers. She just applies pressure no helping hand
She broke them down but plumb forgot to build them back
She is acting more like their commander than a loving mother.
They struggled to say if they love each other, but quickly answered "No" when asked if they respect each other. I really don't understand why they got married in the first place.
It’s very rare I think this, but I don’t think this family is fixable. I think everyone needs to split up. It seems terrible living in a house like this.
Unfortunately I agree, the kids r probably gonna thrive the second they're out of that house. The parents r the problem and now its obviously effected the kids aswell, so they're acting out. Its really sad and i get it
Yeah I think it already is happening. The oldest daughter isn't living in the house. We only saw her for a moment. Clearly she left at a young age
@@kpeyton3 she was 20 and in college
I’m all for parents being involved in their children’s lives but I do see why these kids are getting upset. The parents are sometimes over involved and somewhat smothering. As a teenager I was the same way, you couldn’t force me to have a conversation with you when I was mad and I would blow up. A healthy amount of space and a conversation when both parties were willing made a big difference.
Especially with cameras in their face
Well said. My Mother would eavesdrop on me. It felt like "a lack of trust" as well as invasive.
Now my daughter is "the age.". It is so hard to let it go, but necessary.
I was reminded "trust, you raised me, now trust me."
True that
I’ve never seen Jo curse like this. It’s so gratifying
Chad was right, zhe mom is a tv mom. I felt like everything was acted on her part. I am pretty sure she behaves different without cameras
I feel sorry for the kids. They're obviously hurting from divorces and arguments and however their parent's previous relationship was with their biological mum and dad. They lash out cos they're hurt
I so need an update on this family, the MOM is the problem.
Awww I just wanna hug Derik right now. Because I’m in that exact same position as him in my own dysfunctional family. Trying to keep peace to my family, protect the ones I love, and hopefully one day this family I have will become loving and caring to each other and not yelling at each others throats all the time calling each other racial slurs.
The mum has behavioural similarities that relate to my family...so glad i got out when i did.
Narcissistic abuse is hell to walk out of but yet once sweet freedom and victory have been earned by walking out and not giving into their triggers, it is so freeing an even better with God by your side through it.
Jo says it's either anger or hurt but 99% of the time anger begins as hurt and stays that way and builds up. If you peel the layers back the majority of anger begins with hurt.
It’s actually interesting that the husband says the mom stone walls him for days whenever he wants to talk about something. She says he’s annoying smothers him calls her 27 times but she has a daughter that does exactly the same thing stonewalling walking away leaving while she chases her around trying to get her to resolve an issue. I wonder where her daughter learns it from. Ironic really.
I would be upset too if that was my mom. She just wants to prove how horrible they are instead of fixing things.
Kindness, respect, appreciation, gratitude and thank you goes a long way
Chad seems to be a very emotionally intelligent young man.
I'm in tears 😭 having give teens in the household and it being a blended family would be difficult. So so happy they were all able to connect with each other in a better way and make a happier household for them all. Thank you for sharing your life and journey with us 🤗
I kept wishing the mom would just quit talking for a minute.
