Oh my gosh it's just ending and you said "when I get Tina's credit card then we'll get some luxury" my wife yells out "hell, that meditation spot would buy a couple of us luxury", LOL

How cool was this. I felt sorry for those girls, they will grow up wondering why they arn't making it in life. Very few men would want to spend their life with those spoiled kids. That father seemed to only be able to say, "it's the mother's fault."
My question, would you do it again?

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.
actually, the only ppl in our house who were really mad about the show were the BOYS!
They didnt like the fact that they didnt show the conversations before their comments about work & Charles etc...

They were answering questions....
How do you feel when you get into trouble?
Do you like chores?
Do you like work?
well DUH of course they dont like any of that! They are kids!

they were mad that they didnt show them playing ball w/ Charles.
Or air the good things they said about him, yes, Charles gets on them when they dont do their chores, Yes he gets on em then they misbehave.. but in between there are lots of fun/games & hugs. they'll tell you that fast! They were not happy w/ that part at all.

I have GREAT kids and I think thats BECAUSE of how they are raised AND disciplined.. NOT in spite of it.

Yaving worked with teens - I was neither surprised nor shocked by that answer.

Of course they'd rather play 24/7 ... that's why they're still living in your house so you can train them up to be men whom work AND play in moderation.

That said - tell the young one to keep his head/face up when tackling them trees. Keeps him from getting spearing penalties and/or injured.

Shucks, I've seen those outfits at Goodwill! I have Calvin Klein and Bill Blass, but I sure didn't pay $200 for them...more like $5, LOL.

$200 would get me a real website and a nice little German Angora doe I've been drooling over.

Not sure I can fit all the zero's on the screen ... not without good old scientific notation!

How about 10.0e+120 ? ....oh and 7 scoops of ice cream, all with sprinkles.

And of course a big thanks from HT!

I didn't get to see the show, but I can tell it ROCKED!

I'll be checking out BitTorrent to see if I can get a copy downloaded, but I have to say from what I read here it sounds like it went great!

The best thing I saw here today was Dana saying that she wouldn't trade her life for anything - that she came home happy to have the life she's got. That's just wonderful.

Yay! I'm so glad this happened and I got to watch ... even just this way.
