Not so obsessed that it&#8217;s made it onto the DVR recording list, but I find myself watching it every single week. For those of you unfamiliar with the premise, Supernanny, aka Jo Frost, goes to a home where the children are out of control. On her first visit, she, in full British nanny getup (skirt suit, glasses, hair tightly pulled back), observes the family in all of their wild ways. Then she returns with ideas and suggestions of how to help the family. She assists for a while, leaves, and then returns to see how things are holding up.<\/p>\n<p>I am continually amazed at how poorly the children on this show are behaved and how the parents let them behave. Of course, as I have no kids, how am I to judge. But it amazes me when kids throw temper tantrums and the parents just give in and let the kids do whatever they want, even when it means things like letting the kids stay up all night and talk back.<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s one of those things I watch because it&#8217;s a bit of a train wreck.\u00a0 Tonight&#8217;s episode involved mostly older kids and then a 2-year-old who the parents practically ignored &#8211; the kid was never read to, was allowed to just wander the house, and was clearly attention starved.\u00a0 But I guess there is a lesson to be learned from all of it.<\/p>\n<p>Or I can just stare in amazement at how ridiculous people can be.\u00a0 Which is why reality tv exists in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a little ashamed to admit it, but I&#8217;m slightly obsessed with Supernanny.
