Eeeee lad. Have yer seen this!! How on earth can parents allow their kids to grow up like this.

We all love our bairns...we want the best for em,we want to protect em,we want to give them things we didn`t have etc etc... but Hells Flame whata f**kin bunch of twats these are.

I know its another one of these programmes where they show the most outlandish end of the spectrum...but O LORDY MAMA ---but this squad really need covering with fuel and setting ablaze.

I've never seen this just because the title of it tells me I wouldn't like it.

No programme has ever made me shout at the telly more.

I`m still livid about it! It makes even Josef Fritzel look like a good parent!

I usually hate the sight of stuff like this when I see it advertised but I saw ten minutes of this and was hooked. (I would normally try and blame our lass for 'watching it and there was nothing else for me to do but watch it too...but I won't)

It does make you want to punch the telly and certainly gets my heart rate up, especially when you think to yourself 'this is what my licence fee is getting me'.

It makes you think - are these people for real? Part of me was wondering if some of the 'housemates' were acting however, I began to realise that some of these twats have been mollycoddled to the extend that they dont know how to warm up beans, buy fruit/veg or even attempt to get a job.

I think that the next bunch of losers should be locked in a large house...full of wild, hungry boars.

That would be a better use of licence payers money.

the first series taught me not to watch this again. Its not the kids fault, its the f**king parents fault for raising inadequate, lazy kids.

the final irony being that the parents judge them at the end of the show!

The only way I would ever watch this again is if they have a follow up in 10 years time and they have all learnt to wipe their own arses for once.

If my kid turn out like that I will ashamed off myself...

My daughter is nearly 14, she can cook, clean, iron (she loves ironing - f**king nutjob!) and put the washing on, and she knows the value of money. my work here is done. Its not f**king rocket science. Kids learn behaviour incredibly early, and the sooner you let them know that you arent their slave - the sooner they f**king get a grip of themselves.

[t8yman]

you're not going to be her dad anymore?

she is a dream come true mate. I dont wanna start gushing....

edited to add.

the wife hates ironing, she came home the other day and the ironing pile (which was f**king massive) had completely gone. naturally I tried to take credit for doing it! but she didnt need asking, and didnt expect any financial reward for doing it, so I gave her a slap and sent her to her room. (that last bit isnt true)

[oafc0000]

I know how you feel...

I know mothers who have thought that their job is over when their kids reach 15/16, and have chucked their kids out, saying "I've done my bit"...

it's always been single mums, and I appreciate how difficult it can be, but....

(I didn't really think you were going to abdicate... the wording just struck a chord...)

Just as with these mad dogs you see..its not their fault..its how they are brought up.

Another programme I watched a few weeks ago was Worlds Richest Teenager.

How ironic it was that the richest one (owned half of Thailand or somewhere)..her parents gave her f**k all... she wanted a sewing m/c and they made her save up for it...even though they owned the full store!

How refreshing.

Dunno if its just how the show is... but we dont see TWO parents do we?

I can see how a single parent sort of sinks everything they have got..hook,line & sinker into their child,but it is unhealthy imo when you see the extent of the disfunctionality of this bunch.

Whats gonna happen to em when their parent is dead? And, tbh... they aren`t kids are they?

I feel I have been guilty sometimes of not "pushing" my kids enough..educationally-wise. They only did alright at school.

BUT...so what? Both have never been unemployed (which seems a rarity nowadays for people 16-26)...and have never been in trouble,dont smoke,dont do drugs and have turned into very level-headed women.

My youngest girl at 24 has decided to go into nursing and leave a relatively secure position at the hospital and starts uni next month...I`m so proud of her.

All i know... its not down to luck. I`m sure,even though I`m a queer f**ker and life hasn`t exactly been cosy for them... they know the difference between right and wrong,were never ever spoilt and know the value of £££££ ..the latter being one of the most important things imo.

Fair play to Laura & Holsten Dionius

TV show where useless parents get let off the hook.

Everyone involved needs to be incinerated.

I got heavily berated by my Son's school when he was 14 for making him do his own washing!! apparently no-one else that age does things like that at home. As it happens all he had to do was bring his stuff from his room to the washing machine so i could do it for him. I refused to go in his room due to it being a health hazard. I don't personally think it was unreasonable of me to ask him to do certain tasks at home. which amounted to loading the dishwasher, tidying his room (ha ha), and delivering his washing to the machine.

14? aren't most kids expected to do that at around 8 or 9?

schools are stupid!

[RABun]

Yep - he gave them a sob story because he was in trouble and he is manipulative, and they decided he was obviously neglected!

He has since apologised for being such a prune when he was younger.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

Why ? because you are Young, Dumb and Living off Mum

[oafc0000]
