The 2nd mother is in lala land. She has never had to work for money so has no respect for it. She looks at her husband as a bank.
Why have so many kids if you can't afford them. The mother just makes me angry as she has no clue how to plan a meal.

[gracekelly]

Why more children if you know you cannot give your children what they need?? You are putting your children through this, why?.?

The second parents! £31k in debt ? takeaways?

I really hope the Mum is going to regular AA meetings. If she doesn't, she'll relapse if she hasn't already...
I pray to God she has a sponsor.

Aww poor Lee. He doesn't even look up bless him. It's not the children's fault they decided to have five children with not much money to be able to support them. They need contraception!

[melanieatkinson]

What lovely children. Te parents need to listen to them

[justynacfrtujdfj]

STOP making children .... mother, start working and you will have more money.
You have no money, so why did you make another child. I and my husband have only two children, I work, he works and we have no problems with the money....

So who gets time for the dog and how will they afford proper veterinary care. A lively dog like a springer spaniel deserves a country home with owners who will give it the life it deserves. I hope they rehomed it.

a routine with kids is essential….the feel safe with routines….

Dad “ I don’t have time for him “ goes on to have four more children 😩

I love that emphasis of “cooked a Sunday dinner”.

Nobody:
This show: *C O O K E D A S U N D A Y D I N N E R*

Poor Lee, he can't dance, because of the parents who can't deal with their money properly. This breaks my heart!

[vincentbaker]

That echo effect in the beginning was really overly dramatic lmao

[janicewolk]

The patchy paint in that apartment suggests failure and a lack of care. Why can't people be expected to paint the places they live in? Why are there 5 kids? Are they stupid? Don't they understand birth control?

[erin]

The way they started talking about smacking and slapping the kids and Jo is sitting there trying not to explode. The first family needs a lot of help.

[juwairiyahummabdullah]

When 2 people who can't handle money get married...

[gailpallan]

I love you Jo frost!!❤️ i miss your supernanny show!😭

[yvonnestrong]

Why did that second family have the fifth kid (or even the fourth or third kid) when they've had financial problems for years?

[antoshkin_domik]

"We are in 33 thousand debt and we have 5 children", contraception is free on NHS, isn't it?
