You never seen the earlier series I take it Trace?

Should be good viewing - the usual bunch of dimwits have been enrolled!

lol

Saw the last half hour, pretty amazing stuff that they get up too.  The last series was excellent too.  I'd like to see how the last lot are getting on now.

I caught bits of the last one, but it wound me up too much to watch it.

I'm sorry to say that after watching last nights I would quite cheerfully of knocked 7 shades of **** out of each and every one of them.  Seeing that poor woman flinching from her own daughter's verbal attack in the fear that she was going to lash out left me stunned.

I have a 15 year old son and every now and then he gets mouthy with me, but knows when he has overstepped the mark, he may be taller than me now, but he's VERY wary of me.  Maybe not a good thing in some respects, but he would NEVER dare speak to me or treat me the way those brats were carrying on last night.

I would never in a million years of dared speak to my parents like that, what has the world come to?

That's not a bad thing because it's not out of fear, it's out of respect.

I'm afraid to have to admit that I think it is actually out of fear more than respect.  He also knows I can make his life a misery with groundings and confiscations for months on end!

It took me quite a long time to learn, but both my kids now know that if I threaten something, and it gets carried out - I stay the course and don't give in.  One of the worst things I think a parent can do is threaten something, then either not carry it out or carry it out but not see it through.
