watching supernanny is so surreal because it's like my cat from hell where 99.9% of the time it's always the parents fucking up and never the kids as they're just abiding by how they've been raised
parents: my children are spawns of satan, every day i wake up to them screaming and running around the home where they're always knocking shit over and causing a mess. they are so rude and they never calm down and we're on our last legs because we want a divorce because of them
supernanny: do they have any toys?
parents: do they have any what
parents: my kids disrespect me all the time and don't listen to a single thing I say and I've tried everything to fix it but none of it has worked, you're our last hope supernanny
supernanny: do you ever spend time with them, listen to them, talk to them or show interest in their lives at all?
parents: no why would I do that
I once whatched an episode of supernanny (we had a Brazilian version) and the dad was PISSED at supernanny for saying he couldn’t hit his kids because “I was raised like that and turned out just fine” and she dead ass looked him in the eye and asked “do you resent your parents? Do you love and trust them? Did you always tell them the truth and counted on them, or did you hide things from them in fear of their response?” and when he was like”... well, that’s just how parents and kids go” she was like “no, it isn’t. Do you really want your children to live like that? Do you want your kids to respect you or do you want them to trust you?” and that guy B R O K E
