Now, be honest, how many of you...

....wander around imitating the Supernanny???

`That's just not asseptable'

`You can spend five minits on the nawty spot. That's one minit for every year of age'

We just can't help ourselves and it never ceases to crack us up!!

I love that show...lol

Personally I think that show should be banned. I think it's hideous. Perhaps parents with unruly children should be getting help from someone who actaully HAS children - and instead of telling them what awful parents they are, could be a little more sympathetic as to how hard it is to raise them. Yes, some parents truly are terrible, but way to kick them when they're down. Stuck up moo... she always drove me up the wall.

Really?? Wow - I thought she was very educational! I mean, she is bossy and firm, but I think that many of those parents go to her because of exactly that.

But I have to confess, I've only watched it once or twice and so probably can't pass comment because I haven't seen it that often...

I can't watch it because the kids really irritate me, but she obviously knows how to do her job well because of the end results

As for her skills, no comment but she is funny to watch. I always play around with Gabe and we tell each other to go into the naughty corner. It cracks us up! But telling parents as it is from an outsiders view could be the wake up call that they need to see that their kids are just horrible! And gotta admit, some of them are just awful!!!

Yes *nods in agreement*

i love that programme ! I think she is brilliant

I think she's excellent, she certainly has much more patience than I could ever have!

ah but you see, what people fail to see is the fact that she is PAID to have patience. if they were her own kids, it would be a different story, which makes her no better than anybody else.

Yes but she is a trained nanny, she obviously wanted to be in that career and to work with children

AS far as im concerned every country has a different nanny,
The supernanny here in germany is wonderful and she actually has her own children.

That's probably true, but that still doesn't detract from the fact that the experience you can gain from actually having your own children is is invaluable. I woudln't take advice from a complete stranger telling me how to raise my own children. But this is just personal opinion. I just find her overall manner obnoxious. Each to their own

I do it! I love that show, and she has so many good ideas. She also has a book in the LTD catalogue. You have to be firm with those parents, they obviously have no idea what they are doing or they wouldn't have asked for help! And changing someones set patterns is hard, she needs to be bossy! She really only gets "catty" when they laugh at her or act like they don't want to improve, or she sees the kids doing really bad stuff that should have been paid attention to, like wandering in the street at two years old, with no one watching.

Never seen it

I don't watch it much because the kids drive me crazy. I'm guessing we are probably seeing the "worst of the worst" but still... I can't believe what brats they are. I would NEVER have gotten away with that kind of behavior when I was a kid.

I don't think it really matters that Supernanny doesn't have kids of her own. You spend enough time around kids, you learn a lot about how they tick. And I think she brings a certain amount of objectivity. Parents often have so much emotional investment that they can't be objective, therefore they are ineffectual at recognizing and solving problems.

LOL, I would love to see a show about "Supercatbehaviorist!" The expert could visit homes where there are naughty cats and solve all their problems!

I love watching her show. I have to say though, that those children make me happy that I don't have any.

I have to admit, I think that shows like Supernanny and Nanny 911 are outrageous. I can't stand when people who DON'T have children try to tell me how to raise mine. Or people who's children are as old as my parents (50-60s) tell me what Im doing wrong. Times have changed ALOT since thier kids were little!

"that's not asseptable"

LMAO! I love that! I always crack up!
