yes you hit it right on the nose.....
they didnt show Charles playing w/ the boys..
they didnt show him reading to Ben & Brooke each night... But man oh man did they get him scolding them. 140hrs of tape = 44min of TV remember that.

That lady is an example of how liberals are ruining this country. Chuck isn't allowed to yell at his kids. Whatever. If I am not behaving, yell at me. Not browbeating, but discipline. Weekly beating whether they need it or not.

well I shed a tear or two at the end... it is cool that charles can let go of some of what I guess he grew up with, if its still in effect I see his new behavior as a great thing. I see that the holly woods have gotten some good stuff too. I loved that they sent a care packag e to the boys. I think there is good on both sides. I think dana and charles deserve to treat themselves once in a while too.

Final Advertisement break #7

Final Score Dana 16 - HM -8

Dana - +2 was able to actually teach Tina a later lesson, that giving the girls chores wouldn't break their spirit
+2 didn't make a mockery of the clothes/gifts provided the boys

HM -2 for failing at goal of teaching the value in indulgence (probably because there is none)
0 for making a mockery of the overalls instead of a trophy of learning.

It was great! I loved it. By the way, I don't know what that woman was talking about, I NEVER heard your DH yell. Tell her to come over here if she wants to hear some yelling, of course it would probably be me not DH. LOL

Oh Charles - 16 more points for being a good dad - and learning how to communicate the same message a bit differently

BUT

2 points off for not teaching your son to KEEP HIS HEAD UP while tackling the tree. The tree is a good teacher, but not with the head/face down - that's how they get paralyzed.

Anyone on the west coast want to tape it or DVD and send it to us poor souls on the east coast that can't see it? Our local channel put on their own stuff.
Thanks

Dana, you and your family were beautiful... you had it ALL over the CA family!! I absolutely adore your little girl!!! The boys are so well behaved and "gentlemanly" and that could only come from having a strong dad who loves his wife and treats her with respect.. you are one lucky lady!!!

The poor gal from CA simply does NOT realize what she is truly missing... until she has grandkids who will expect HER to be their maid!!! <G>

Great show!!!!

Terri
