I just watched the episode and thought it was great. Dan and Wendy seem really down to earth. They didn’t portray them as a celebrity couple, just everyday folks struggling with issues all parents have. The boys are all so cute. What makes me laugh is how blonde Leo and Beau are and even little Lola. Where is all that blonde hair coming from?

I watched this episode and give Wendy so much credit! She was an honest mother who was struggling with her 4 young boys. Wendy and her husband raise their kids on their own, and they shared many struggles of parents today. Wendy even was saying how she felt guilty about working again and leaving the boys. I applaud Wendy and her husband for doing this, and showing America that celebrity parents are real, go through the struggles of parents across the country, and don’t depend on nannies, baby-sitters and others to raise their children!

I really liked this episode. I thought Jo had great ideas for easing away from “paci”, little Beau did wonderfully in both letting it go and getting back into the potty routine. He heard what the adults were talking about and decided on his own that he wanted to be big. What a wonderful family!

I saw the episode and loved it. I expected to see a celebrity being on there for publicity,(I know,cynical me). I was pleasantly surprised. They really did need help. The husband, how great was he? You could see he was understanding of his wife’s chaotic childhood vs his. There is alot of love there. He really felt for her. There are good men out there!

i thought it was interesting to see not only a celebrity family, but wendy as a celebrity baby herself, and how that affected her.

also, carnie and lola showed up!

Deb, if it helps, I’ve only seen Supernanny episodes where Jo work with parents who have toddlers in big boy/big girl beds. They are at the age where they like to come out to the living room or their parents room for attention when they think they aren’t ready for bed yet. I’ve never seen her work with parents on that issue when there are babies in cribs involved.

Lauren – The episode was great. They are a nice family who started out with a lot of little ones and no real schedules to help themselves out. Jo helped them work out some binky, potty, bedtime and baby schedule issues to name a few. Wendy and her husband both talked about their different family backgrounds and they worked with Jo to figure out a happy medium for a few family plans. I felt for Wendy, she looked so frazzled but she slowly got things under order and they all seem to know what and how they will be doing things now.

I really wanted to see this episode and missed it. Can anyone who saw it give a recap of what happened (what the problems were, what the parents were like, etc.)?

Boy, what a doll her husband is. I really enjoyed watching this — despite problems, this seems to be a family whose members really listen to each other and make the effort to communicate and be considerate but still firm. You can even already see that in their kids’ behavior. Count me impressed, celebrity or not.

If you’ve watched the show, Jo isn’t letting little babies or even young toddlers cry it out in their cribs, she’s teaching older toddlers and children who are having tantrums to sleep in their own bed and go to sleep at bed time.

Supernanny does NOT advocate Cry-It-Out, just to clear this up. I would not be following the Supernanny techniques (which work wonders) if she did. I greatly disagree with letting a baby (even if they are an “older” baby) get the idea of “If you cry, no one will come for you.” Heartbreaking.
