  1. They should have given him fruit instead of veggies to start out with. It would have been easier to transition to veggies after fruit.

  2. I'm not sure if all of those commenting that they haven't gone to a dentist in 20+yrs are bragging or confessing.

  3. 33:00 Why on earth would you ever say "I'm scared of the dentist," in front of your child? I'm sorry for being so judgemental, but there is a LOT to judge in this video.

  4. My daughter was a nanny for two different billionaire families while going to university. She only had one child each time, but for one, the parents had a rule that none of the staff could tell the child "No". The child was 3.5yrs, and she picked up my daughter's brand new i-phone and threw it against a wall. Of course, my daughter said, "You can't play with that.". The mom told my daughter not to tell the child she couldn't do something and she (mom) would pay for my daughter to get a new phone. So, my daughter said she'd be leaving an hour early with pay and the phone was going to be $1200 plus tax. The mother opened her purse and gave her $1400 in cash. She had the nerve to ask for a receipt. That mother was incredibly stingy, BUT the father was incredibly generous. He bought one of the housekeepers a new car because hers had broken down. It apparently made the mother livid. This family owned an NBA team (and the father started some type of hedge fund but he came from money. The mother did not, but she was awful.). The other family she worked for was fantastic and always made sure she was as happy with them as they were with her.

  5. New parents: Take juice boxes to restaurants and to birthday parties for your children to drink. When your kids asked for coke/soda, try what I did. I put tonic water in an empty Sprite can. Neither of my children drink soft drinks and they're in their late 20s.

  6. This is like Hoarders plus 90 Day Fiance combined. I wonder if he's ever actually met his fianceé in Kenya??

  7. True. I took juice boxes for my children to drink at birthday parties when coke/sprite was being served. The day came when they both begged to have a soft drink. So, I emptied a sprite bottle and filled it with tonic. Neither asked for it again. Trickery? Yes, but both are in their late 20s and aside from a morning coffee, they only drink water. However, I can see that parents who are strapped for time might turn to quick, take-out meals. The easier part is saying "No" early on. It's a lot easier than enforcing it after 6+ months of eating whatever they want.

  8. I respect Francesca telling Josh she's not comfortable with him "getting off" with prostitutes.

  9. ​​ @Kalani_Saiko  "It's not posh like ours," doesn't sound like a put-down to you? As for it being" something all kids notice (accents),". He's been with the family since before the children were born, and when you grow up with someone everyday and hear them speak, as a child, you do not " hear" their accent. I don't believe a 6 and 7yo decided he "didn't sound posh like them.". They're repeating something they heard someone else say. I wonder who?

  10. Michael isn't hungry at meal times. That's part of the issue.
    45
  11. True, but we can have sympathy for both.
    44
  12. ​@lorielhassan Where do you think a 6 and 7yo learns that a driver's "East London accent isn't posh"? The father is from Saudi Arabia. I wonder what his accent sounds like when he speaks English.i

  13.  @MrDuneedon  There's plenty of other examples: Mattress filling; Gasoline; Fabric Softener, Cheese, French Fries, Hamburgers... All with no well defined, understandable reasons, except taste, like the wife in grief eating her husband's ashes or the mother in grief over the loss if her child and consuming cornstarch. My heart went out to both of these ladies.

  14. If you're like me, a better question is When don't you want pizza?
    39
  15. Rule #1 :. Don't take your child food shopping if you can help it!
    34
  16. One HUGE problem here is that it's been ages since they've seen many of these items, and when they do see an item, it's like it's "brand new" again to them. Also, WHO likes artificial plastic flowers??
    34
  17. Every nursing home should have resident pets 24/7. I think it can help people come out of their shells, transition into moving into the home, etc.
    33
  18. Could it be that parents have to work so many hours that time-saving meals are necessary for some parents? That said, I was a single mom of two infants and it wasn't until my mother took them to McDonald's when they were 4yo did they have their first french fry or chicken nugget. They had only ever had apple slices and milk from McDonald's before that. Even that single trip and order of fries had me hearing, "I want fren-fwies" for weeks

  19.  @hfalex7703 Don't forget the basil.Not every pizza is made without preservatives, especially the crust. All of the WHITE flour is bad-- too much white flour leads to diabetes. The cheese has a lot of trans fat --also leading to diabetes. So, while a margherita pizza may be a healthier PIZZA OPTION, it is NOT a healthy daily food.

  20. One person cannot meet all of the needs of 8 children. Are you not also raising them? You should be taking over the moment you walk in the house.

  21. Not sure why, but the host's voice annoys me and it is difficult to listen to her.
    28
  22. I'm only 10 minutes in and I already don't like Anthony's daughter :"He could have spent the money on me. " "Oh, my inheritance.". Maybe she'll prove me wrong, but she seems really selfish at the start.
    26
  23. There is a difference between being alone and being lonely. They are not one in the same.
    25
  24. I think the reason the US version does it that way is because people are in a crisis and about to lose their homes. There's no time for therapy beforehand. So, they must go afterwards.
    25
  25.  @societycrumbles  Hence, why I said "transition". It's like they made him go cold turkey so to speak from the white flour and fats directly to fiber and too few carbs. Fruit would have replaced some of the carbs he was missing from the white flour in the crusts and made it easier for him to adjust to his new, healthier diet. Of course, there's always editing. We don't know if what actually happened was all shown in the video.

  26. I think in Australia it's more of a medical term-- in the US, doctors would refer to people this size as Morbidly Obese.
    24
  27. I think the difference is that by the time they get to the homeowner in the US, they're in a crisis situation and about to lose their homes. There is no time for therapy first.

  28.  @methatlovescats3602  You can be depressed, lonely and anxious while also having a relationship with God. Now, if you happen to be 100yo AND in her shoes, then you have insight to offer that may be valuable.

  29. Because their religious and cultural community leaders are telling them the scientific research is wrong. Did you listen to the Islamic leader refuse to even look at the research?

  30. "There's got to be a reason for a tummy ache,.". Yeah, it's called stressing because you constantly think you have a deadly illness.

  31. Imagine being one of the children living like it everyday for their entire life.

  32. He looks like a 70s wanna-be rocker

  33. That's more calories than the average toddler even needs per day and that's without the first bite of solid food
    15
  34. This is one of the worst things to be born of the internet. My mother used to Google a few random, but "normal" symptoms, like fatigue, mild headache, constipation etc and she'd decide she had Muscular Sclerosis
    14
  35. The thing is that all of their friends are exactly the same and they haven't done it any other way. It's all they know. Plus. I think a lot of these women marry for money and it's their "duty" to give the father children. Many just don't seem to have a motherly instinct. So, for them, their children are just something else they can brag about -- like little Jimmy has 8 tutors and got into Oxford. The vegan mom seemed very different from the others. I wonder if they knew the title of the video before agreeing to it... They probably don't see anything wrong with it, either.

  36. It seems that, often, children are able to "handle"/accept diagnosis omabout themselves than are their parents and other family members.

  37. So, not every psychopath is a serial killer. Well, that explains Trump then.

  38.  @johnedwards7564  I'm guessing you're a preteen or early teen aged boy trying to roil people up because you think it's funny. It's really not, as you'll realize once you've matured.

  39. ​ @jeannechapman2696  I didn't see the "children's love for mummy" in the portrait. They seemed void of emotions

  40. Whomever VanNess was that developed that procedure must have been on an acid trip when he conceived the idea of removing the foot, turning it backwards and having it function as a kneecap!

  41. My daughter was a nanny for a billionaire's family, and the rule for all staff at the house: You CANNOT tell the child "No" under any circumstances unless it was something involving physical safety. The child was 3.5yo.

  42. Of course, they do. BUT, you cannot "think" yourself into a healthy weight. The first thing that must be done, is a person must ge themselves to a point where their health, specifically their weight, is not an IMMEDIATE threat to their lives and that can be done most efficient and effectively through weight loss. Aside from that, they did show clips of them talking with therapists, it just wasn't highlighted as often as the exercising. As for time for themselves: I was a working single mom since my two children were 1yo & 2yo (now 24 & 25), and every mother is stretched thin on time for themselves. However, to get and to stay this morbidly obese, an individual has to spend much more time eating than the average person. You don't get to and remain over 500 lbs from spending just 20 minutes a day eating dinner. You are making excuses for people getting and staying morbidly obese, and if you are doing this to people in your life, you're not doing them any favors. I'm not saying that obese people don't need compassion. I'm saying you're not doing them any favors by enabling their behaviors.

  43. They probably don't want the "chemicals" in the diet version. Lol
    11
  44. ​ @amandameredith  BUT, these women BELIEVE they are the primary caregivers ... Because they make the rules. The vegan mom seemed different from the others.

  45. I think people feel it sends the message that I'm not desirable as a friend. There must be something negative about a person if they don't many friends or friends, period. When it's more often than not, due to circumstance(s).

  46. The US version has people who are in a crisis and about to lose their homes. They are limited to clearing the house first and then doing therapy afterwards. None of the homeowners on the British shows are faced with the city condemning their houses or having adult services called.

  47. He seems very pleasant, as well. I can't believe he cuts his own lawn!

  48. I didn't realize she was 11yo until her b'day party near the end. That's when girls really start comparing themselves to others. What a terrible situation for her

  49.  @imahorse4ever  Please stop posting that every patient in this video does in 2005. People in similar situations may be watching & reading comments, and posing that as a reply for every comment wondering what happened to these 5 people is unnecessary, and in some instances, harmful.

  50. I think it's up to the individual, but he only gained 12inches in height according to the video. However, I do wonder if it's ethical for. Parent to decide for a child based solely upon height.
