“Corry Family”
Season 8, Episode 2
The Corry's are a military family struggling to discipline their four daughters. While Ben, the father, is away with the army for months at a time, Maria, the stay-at-home mom, is left dealing with their rambunctious children and navigating her post-partum depression. Will Nanny Jo be able to dive into the trenches and rescue this family?

Drawing on 30 years of professional experience, Jo is back to help stressed-out parents tackle social and behavioral challenges as well as new issues faced by modern-day families. With a recipe of honest, direct and nurturing support, Jo offers real-life solutions to parents — uplifting families with advice, techniques, and tips to iron out the chaos in their lives, helping families evolve. The families featured this season are from cities and towns around the country, including Phenix City, AL; Spokane, WA; Makaha, HI; Corona, CA; Mesa, AZ; Cortlandt Manor, NY; Gilbert, AZ; and more. Each of the families are dealing with diverse issues that span the spectrum of parenting challenges – from dealing with postpartum depression, ADHD, kids obsessed with electronic devices, blended families struggling with children acting out, military and first responder spouses facing separations – to parents buried in their phones and more. Jo will visit one new family each week and use her trusted and proven methods and elevated teachings to help them change their dynamics while focusing on positive reinforcement and connectivity.

I want to puke, he's just blaming his wife, with postpartum etc... Does he realize that his absence has an effect on the girls an his wife. I think he should appreciate her more!

[jenniferwellman]

You have four kids, what did you think it was gonna be Disneyland every single day?

[totally.syd.]

0:54- the way he’s holding the baby...

[scarlett]

Raising your kids with empty threats and never following through will only lead them to be incontrollable in the future and they will think they can do whatever they want and get away with it

[sloppydinnerpoopyummy]

For a minute I thought this was a dance moms video

[StephanieTips]

"I came from a family where we got spanked all the time for being bad" sits on the countertop

[kathleenjohnston]

How sad is this?? Mom is only 26 years old with 4 kids! That means she got married at 18, had her first child at 19 and so on... This is why women's health care is important for family planning. What a difficult situation 😬

[tankell]

It always trips me out when parents threaten a spanking. The kid knows you’re not gonna do it. That’s why they either laugh, cry, or keep doing whatever they were doing before.

[kinndah]

If you're going away to the military for months at a time, don't freaking have kids! Understand that certain career choices don't allow for a healthy family.

[maddyeadie]

I get the don't spank thing cause when I get hit I get angry with my parents instead of feeling that I did something wrong

[katiethomas]

YES when Jo said the Mom needs some personal time. And I love that Jo brought up they need to be a team!

[sweetpeaon]

I know this is going to sound weirs coming from a 16 year old with no kids, but I think it's insulting to have so many kids when you factor in things like postpartum depression, military, and the responsibility of both parents. There are people in this world that would love to have kids, and yet these two make a mockery out of it by neglecting basic parenting strategies.

[dontmindme.imjustafraidofe]

She settled down way too early. She was supposed to save her twenties for herself. I’m not judging her; I just feel sorry for her.

[mia]

HAHAHA the baby in the first picture 😂😂😂😂

[pinkid]

Lets be honest threatening them with a spanking makes them cry more

[salinasn]

Oh course the dad is never around, everything falls on mom and I’m sick of it. Why have kids if the dad isn’t around or to the discipline? There’s no teamwork. Glad I don’t have kids

[MsJubjubbird]

Tenly? What kind of a name is Tenly? No wonder the kid is going crazy

[conniebarnes]

They are such a beautiful family. I hope they are doing well.

[karls_idols]

That poor dad definitley wanted a son 😭
