Yes! I'd say, if he's out he's out. His coming and going is disruptive, confusing and hurtful for all- But himself. And when the kids act out they direct their anger at the parent they are safe is staying. He can still be with his kids- at his place. Better for all, but less convenient for him.
The body language when they were sitting on the sofa asking for Super Nanny’s help, says it all. She’s sitting with her hand on his leg, and he is leaning away from her, has his body pressed against the side wall of the sofa. The fact that he is dragging both his wife and his kids through his midlife crisis while dangling the possibility of him coming home is infuriating.
@@palestar828if anything it appears that the dad may be interested in someone else since she didn’t see it coming and was still so intent on keeping the relationship together, even blaming herself even though she didn’t know what she did wrong. Truthfully she probably did nothing, it’s the dad’s midlife crisis
This is INCREDIBLE how Jo Frost helped during one of the MOST DIFFICULT parts of these peoples' lives. Wow. AMAZING WOMAN. Thank you for teaching us how to do this Jo.
Not the best decision on his part, but most women wouldn't even give this pos 8 months. They'd have enough self respect to better themselves and move on. I truly hope this woman is doing much better now.
@@aminsadeghpour1549 I agree and the reason why they are acting out is from the trauma that was caused by the Dad leaving and the divorce itself. It's not easy. I've been there. But in this case my Mom left. It's a long story. I feel so sorry for the kids
@@JustEmilyyy Even when he was explaining it to the kids, though. "I gave. and gave so much! I needed to give to myself." I this and I that. Does he think that's what they needed to hear?
Listening to the boy say to Jo what so many kids feel, but can never express is just so heartbreaking in so many ways. I wish people would go into relationships thinking about the future and what these babies would be born into. It would save so many hearts. My heart is just breaking for this family.
When Jo asked Max why he was misbehaving and his reason for his behavior his father leaving and his not knowing why broke my heart. Jo looked like she was going to cry.
Well done Jo you made John man up and say the truth rather dangling the carrot to keep Sarah quite. He didn't have the guts to admit he didn't want Sarah just in case the alternative wasn't better. I hope Sarah finds herself again and happiness.
But he said that he was really scared that he would hurt his kids by telling them. Sometimes, human emotions can be way more complicated than what you see on the surface
@@hannahscott6604 I think they both did. she said something about having really hurt him. I think she cheated on him, then as revenge he cheated on her.. at least that's the vibe I'm getting
Actually, I think what he was saying was he didn't know how he could take anymore from the wife. He wanted her to keep giving into his every whim and desire. No furniture I'm his apartment? Sounded like he just left wife's house and went to be with another woman...
Drives me nuts when parents say they love their kids, their kids are so important to them etc, while selfishly making choices and doing things that will absolutely devastate and change their kids' lives for the worse. Love is shown by our choices and actions and sacrifices, not by useless words.
I wish there was some way that people could see the utter devastation of cheating, before they went there. Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard.
The body language in the submission tape is all I need to know. The dad was leaning over away from his wife, but the wife had her hand on his leg & was leaning into him. I hope the mom found some self respect & divorced him.
She thinks he's crying because his feelings are hurt so she feels bad for him. But he's not crying because his feelings are hurt, he's just crying to get his way.
The parents’ body language at the end of the submission reel with the mom putting her hand on his leg and the dad leaned way far away from her is very telling
Wow, collateral damage. That's how he sees his children. This man is so selfish. He said he would never leave his children when these children knew exactly what they saw.
Isn't human behaviour strange? The father leaves and is dismissive, yet kids really want him and take out their anger on the poor mother who was abandoned
Dad helped make these monsters but doesn't want to be in the house with them. I wonder if he thinks it's all his wife's doing. seems as if Dad never assisted in parenting. They never discussed parenting together.
The conversation that Jo had with Max in the observation phase broke my heart. You can clearly see this kid is sad, and he’s very smart to acknowledge some stuff.
That dad is one of the most selfish people I've seen. Everything was about him, what he wanted, and how _he_ wanted to be perceived. Quite frankly I'm glad they're divorced.
I just broke up with my boyfriend. Seeing what the dad did by dragging things out for 8 months because “he wasn’t sure”, thats exactly what my ex would’ve done.
I feel so bad for these kids. As someone who was both of these kids in one bc of childhood trauma of my mom stepping out on my brother and I, it is hard to see this bc I know deep down how they feel. I am happy both parents are still here and they try to create some form of normal lifestyle for them in terms of routine and making sure Dad gets time with his kids... But oh my heart!
There's a lot of negativity about the father here in the comments and although they may be warranted I do think he deserves some of our compassion. He comes across as someone who is in the throes of depression and sadness and can't quite see beyond that to figure out the way ahead. I mean, did you see his sad eyes? Jo's hand in getting him to look outside of himself so that he can start living more positively and decisively was, I think, where family healing really began.
As postpartum therapy exists for mothers, advice of therapy for this particular father was greatly overlooked. His personal selfishness needs to be cured.
After this episode the couple divorced, and John became entirely estranged from the whole family. He broke his kids hearts slowly. He stated he wants stability for himself first, then he mentioned the kids and his wife. He planned to walk away, he even stated it 17:17
I feel like he cheated and that's why he was so "frustrated" and he wanted to leave before she found out. That's why he only leaves at night and comes during the day. He's a sneaky devil
Just because they are not living together he get off all responsibilities oh how nice it for him shame shame on this man he didn’t just left his wife but he also left his his children
It doesn’t matter why they split, or who is most responsible. I’m just so glad they did this together to be better coparents than together parents. Hopefully it stuck!!
This is what I have to go through with my four-year-old daughter Ruby she does this all the time and I have to be the only one dealing with her because my husband Michael is at work I'm exhausted 😫 and my newborn son chance he's normally in his crib sleeping and Ruby is the only one that does this I'm exhausted I have to take care of Ruby and my newborn son chance Ruby doesn't want me to take breaks she's just up constantly getting into trouble I'm exhausted 😫
EVERY Mom goes thru that! You don't need Jo! Just like every mother in time and memorial dealt with it (one way or the other), you will too! This too shall pass--hang in there!
Children are like sponges..soaking up the energy that surrounds them...seems the damage was done way before the seperation..disrespect begins in the home..with the adults and our children will definately show us who we are and how we treat others by emulating our behavior.
My children were older when I divorced, but they admitted later that it was horrible for them to do things with my ex and me together. That’s all I can think of when these parents were going to do things with all four of them. It also makes it really hard for each adult to move on.
Jo frost you helped many people to solve the problem fixes and It makes life easy and my son learn the way now he grown up been respectful 🙏 😂bring peace to the house
The min that kid expressed how he was feeling about dad leaving and the fights, I started crying. I felt the same growing up kid. 😣💜
It’s crazy how much he knows and the parents have no idea how it’s affecting him. Made me cry too
Me too man. Me too
Bella Girles
yh it’s sad
Me too, but it was my mom who left. Crushed and confused me 😢
That selfish man has everything the way he wants. Come over to be the good guy for the children, then leave all the hard work for his wife.
Yes! I'd say, if he's out he's out. His coming and going is disruptive, confusing and hurtful for all- But himself.
And when the kids act out they direct their anger at the parent they are safe is staying.
He can still be with his kids- at his place. Better for all, but less convenient for him.
And leaving his junk in the garage... get that sh*t out thanks!
😂
She laid down with him and chose this
@@UzziHD he clearly changed his behavior since they were together. She did not choose this. Hold the man accountable for his own actions please.
Jo handled this situation with such grace and compassion as usual. SHE IS QUEEN! THIS IS WHY SHE IS AN EXPERT AT WHAT SHE DOES! PERIOD!
She is Queen Nanny, not super nanny 👑
@@lk4543 She can be both.
I love how Jo made no promises and set no high expectations so that the child wouldn’t be sad if she couldn’t fulfill her promise.
I like that Jo talks to the kids instead of just trying to discipline them right away.
Exactly as it should be
That child was very eloquent speaking what was on his mind .
And so sweet ❤

You don't know the whole story so I wouldn't assume anything. She may have cheated. You don't know anything

I feel bad for Sarah
Yup. Shady.
My ex left and strung out the divorce for months. Come to find out he was having an affair. I bet he was having an affair.
I agree !!!!
All i hear from the dad is me me me and I and I selfish, dramatic, delusional
Not really. If you loose yourself and don't wanna be married anymore it's okay. It's okay to focus on yourself and find yourself..
@@JustEmilyyy
He also has to think about those poor kids.

I agree. That was hard to watch. My heart broke for that little boy. He was way more mature than his father.
That’s no excuse to act bad you know how many kids fathers leave and never come
Back
@@Crazycatlady71 Max, he expressed himself much more eloquently & made more sense, than his own father could even try to.
Well done Jo you made John man up and say the truth rather dangling the carrot to keep Sarah quite. He didn't have the guts to admit he didn't want Sarah just in case the alternative wasn't better. I hope Sarah finds herself again and happiness.
Can't get over how selfish the dad is. Imploding his family and not even telling them why.
I think we all know. Him no saying, said I’ll I needed to hear.
He said he was terrified to death to tell
But he said that he was really scared that he would hurt his kids by telling them. Sometimes, human emotions can be way more complicated than what you see on the surface
He def cheated
@@hannahscott6604 I think they both did. she said something about having really hurt him. I think she cheated on him, then as revenge he cheated on her.. at least that's the vibe I'm getting
I heard total selfishness on the father’s part. After his introspective rant. He gave it his all….didn’t have anymore left to give. Really?
Actually, I think what he was saying was he didn't know how he could take anymore from the wife. He wanted her to keep giving into his every whim and desire. No furniture I'm his apartment? Sounded like he just left wife's house and went to be with another woman...
I am done with John. Like seriously
@@jaykb6587 or men. You never really know.
@@jaykb6587 or another man...
That conversation between Supernanny and the little boy was so heart wrenching. 💔
36:38 the look we all gave that dad throughout the video.
Kudos to mom for saying, "We're done then? Alright, you're taking all your crap with you."
I swear Jo Frost never ages
The power of UA-cam my friend
The description literally says that these vids were recorded back in 2004-12. That's why it seems that way.
If you looked at her newer stuff you'll see how much she's actually aged.
Frozen in time!
@@karateana7593 that brain dead response was in no way communicated in that comment. They were so obviously referring to her physical appearance, dork
OMG, that dad is so selfish 🙄
I love when she told him to get his crap out of the garage!

100%
Same. Honestly, the amount of mixed signal coming from this man just makes me so angry 😢
That father was having his cake and eating it and he knew it! I'm glad they did divorce eventually. It's all me me me with John. Poor kids
It was cheaper to keep her.. He knew what he was doing and didn't wanna pay up with that divorce and alimony😂
@@08MzESHA and she would still cook him dinner at night. hes so so selfish
He just wanted to perhaps pay less support , for three kids under 10 , until they are 18 years old, on top of the alimony.
I applaud you, Jo!! For this, getting this situation out in the open so they could move on without struggle
I know that part of the kids' misbehavior is attention-seeking, but it's mostly overcompensating for their father not being around so much.
Yep I have been in this situation like the mom 💔
The selfish father is unbelievable. You have to wonder what else is on his mind.
His crappy life. And that he’s a big disappointment. I’m sure the wife wasn’t showing appreciation while he was there.
another woman
Nothing. He’s a narcissist, so only thinks of himself.
I wish there was some way that people could see the utter devastation of cheating, before they went there. Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard.
The body language in the submission tape is all I need to know. The dad was leaning over away from his wife, but the wife had her hand on his leg & was leaning into him. I hope the mom found some self respect & divorced him.
I noticed his posture too!!!
She thinks he's crying because his feelings are hurt so she feels bad for him. But he's not crying because his feelings are hurt, he's just crying to get his way.
He was playing his victim card, hoping for sympathy. In my opinion, he's a narcissist. It was all me me me.
Jo literally got this family out of an endless limbo! ❤
The only thing missing on this episode of Supernanny is the mistress
Shameless Dad...
Ew. He wanted to leave her but still come over every day for cooked food and to play with the kids 🙄
The parents’ body language at the end of the submission reel with the mom putting her hand on his leg and the dad leaned way far away from her is very telling
Dad is not committed. He can't stand anyone telling him what to do. He'll fall apart and will leave everything to his wife to clean up.
Its obvious the father is having an affair.
Somebody is.
Yeah, one of them was or is having an affair. If she did, she was hoping for forgiveness, or if it was him, he was hiding it.
Honestly could feel moms heart breaking when John said he didn’t want to be married anymore. Was brutal.
Wow, collateral damage. That's how he sees his children.
This man is so selfish. He said he would never leave his children when these children knew exactly what they saw.
Isn't human behaviour strange? The father leaves and is dismissive, yet kids really want him and take out their anger on the poor mother who was abandoned
That's because mom's always get the most honest emotions from their kids.
The kids know their mother will always be there, so it's "safe" for them to act out on her.
His guilt is the only thing keeping him there he’s emotionally checked out
Guilt because he is emotionally immature.
Oh my god this is the first video from Super Nanny where I cried in the beginning
Good to see the Mum learning assertiveness. She can now spread that format into dealing with her husband also.(Saw this video later on...) 🌞
Their both kids is ABSOLUTELY soooooooo Adorable!! 😍😍❤️❤️
Jo is an absolute LEGEND! Is there any situation that she doesn't know how to fix? She is surely blessed with an incredible gift!

The conversation that Jo had with Max in the observation phase broke my heart. You can clearly see this kid is sad, and he’s very smart to acknowledge some stuff.
Boy, the dad isn't interested to try at all w/Sara she still loves him & nothing out of him
He better not try and come back when he realizes that his family was always there for him
Listen Max, I'm always lost and confused right now in everything just like you are.
I don’t understand how somebody just wakes up one day and says they don’t wanna be married anymore for no clear reason?
He's most likely cheating.
Let me guess-the day at the pier was another example of him giving and giving and giving 🙄
That dad is one of the most selfish people I've seen. Everything was about him, what he wanted, and how _he_ wanted to be perceived. Quite frankly I'm glad they're divorced.

Amen, no one is better than who the Father will choose for her ❤❤❤

This episode broke my heart…
I wonder how this family is doing now and what the kids currently think of the divorce and their dad.
Where's Dad sleeping?🤨
Exactly! Joe goes over to his house and comments that it doesn't look like anyone lives there. My guess is it's because he's not sleeping there....
I feel like he cheated and that's why he was so "frustrated" and he wanted to leave before she found out. That's why he only leaves at night and comes during the day. He's a sneaky devil
Everywhere he can
With his girlfriend
With his boyfriend
I have to give it to the father though. He made the promise to always be their father. Some father's forget about kids. Kudos to him for that.
He'll probably be gone when his new family is started though, no time for his kids. Out with the old in with the new and the kids will get worse
The mum is coming out the stronger person
Who here loves supernanny/ Jo Frost????
I do lol
I like her and her approach and different techniques but please I don't like WhenShe 8s wearing the suit !!!!!
Supernanny AKA Joe Frost 4 President
This is so 💓 heartsore really it brings back how we grew up so so 😭😭😭
So happy the parents where able to work together to keep both of them involved kids need both parents
Just because they are not living together he get off all responsibilities oh how nice it for him shame shame on this man he didn’t just left his wife but he also left his his children
I love Jo she's awesome
It doesn’t matter why they split, or who is most responsible. I’m just so glad they did this together to be better coparents than together parents. Hopefully it stuck!!
Selfishness tells the whole story.

The poor kids will never get over this separation and all for some strange reason that makes no sense? The dad seems really childish to me.

i really enjoyed this episode
How dare you have kids and your kids behave better than you both parents, especially you dad ...😡
"It's not working for me"... 🤦🏽♀️
Real love is not selfish, Mate!
Children are like sponges..soaking up the energy that surrounds them...seems the damage was done way before the seperation..disrespect begins in the home..with the adults
and our children will definately show us who we are and how we treat others by emulating our behavior.

That couple looks so much older, especially the dad. He looks like he's in his mid to late 50s!
Great job super nanny 👏
Sarah so sorry, I feel your pain because I have been there before, I had it more than 10yrs.That was wasted time in the marriage.❤❤😂
I do have hopes that these two can coparent very successfully.

Thank you for the update! I really hoped everything turned out for this family
Dad said "No" to reconciliation. Very brave.
The kids are deeply wounded by their narcissistic Dad.
The Dad and Mom...need help.
Dad is done. Shes crying and he didnt even reach out. Hes very much done. I dont think he doesnt love her. Just fell out of love.
Or he's cheating. Most probably. But one thing is sure: that man is emotionally draining to his environment. Very selfish, very immature.
