I Just can't get over having grandma (either) do ALL the work.

That lady is an example of how liberals are ruining this country.

HEY!! I'm a liberal, and I have NOTHING in common with the CA wife - we're much more like Dana and her family. Stop with the generalizations!

DH's comment about that older CA girl was that her mom was raising her to be a "perfect waste of space".

Dana - I thought it came out well. I Figured, with only the few minutes of clips from each family - that they were ONLY showing your DH snapping at the kids - and none of the other stuff.

One of my favorite quotes...when CA mom brought in Dana's mom to do all the chores, she said "...and I'm doing this...why?" LOLOL!!!

Great job all around. It was an enjoyable show!

Charles and American Values

Charles,
You're absolutely a man's man. Thanks for sticking up for the basic biblical and American values as in parental respect (Thank you Sir)., as in accountability, as in responsibility.

By the way, did you offer the boys 5 grand (off camera ... of course) for doing all those chores?

Dana, can you get me the address to those people, that rabbit is history when I get there.

Melco's Hubby.

I would've went to my mom's if I'd known I couldn't get it.

Dana, I think you did great!!!!!! You came across as a sensible, fun and warm person, no matter how they tried to make you look, it came through. Golly the rich, spoiled mom......well, I hope she might of learned something about being real. When she was crying in the car talking about Charles being mean yelling at the boys......I thought..What?...he is being a dad......he cares......he wants them to be responsible......good job, Charles. The rich couple seemed like nice people but too focused on material things and very shallow. Actually I don't think the rich mom ever grew up. Hope they wake up, for their girls sake. Oh my, the grandmother......yeah, I would say it is elder abuse...talk about taking advantage of someone...she needs to stand up to her daughter, but she must have spoiled her daughter her whole life.....you think? Great job, Clovers, it is fun to see a family on tv from the forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmmm was it worth it?
Yes, I think it was. if nothing else, it reinforced our beliefs that we are raising our family the right way.

I wouldnt trade places from what I have here for anything!

I feel like the richest woman on Earth, even tho my bank account is nil. We have soo much more!

and... if we were able to teach the other family anything and give Grandma a break that's GREAT!!

Cudo's Charles, You did well no matter what twist the producers tried to put on it.

I thought both families had some valid points and were able to teach the other lessons that they may have overlooked.
I know there's a lot that didnt' get shown from both families. If they only showed the worst parts of Dana's family, I assume they did the same with the Hollywood family.

I liked the meeting at the table of both couples. When Charles admitted he was trying to bring out more of his soft side with the boys and the way Bruce thought the girls should start having more responsibility.

I watched with a friend and he thought both sets of kids were unhappy even though they tried not to show it. He mentioned how the Clover boys talked about their lives only being about work and yelling and the Hollywood girls seemed to miss having dad involved in their lives.
Maybe both sets of kids will get keep a small part of the other families viewpoints so they can all enjoy life more.

My friend and I loved it! Yeah for your hubby Dana! Ya'll are raising great boys! And I don't think he was yelling at all. I should know....I am a yeller.... though I am attempting to be a reformed yeller!

Those girls really need a reality check and that Dad is something else entirely...
