I used to really like the show super nanny. I thought her methods were great and swore I would do them with my kids.
But then I had kids. I still think her methods are effective and probably the best ways to get the job done. The problem is that she has no sympathy or empathy for how insanely hard these peoples lives are and that by the end of the day, the last thing they want to do is spend two hours calmly putting their child back in their bed 1,292 times. Sometimes it's just easier to put a lock on the outside of the door. I'm sorry super nanny, but working with children is not the same thing as living with them 24/7. There is a point where you are just so exhausted and worn down and sometimes it's okay to not be the perfect parents.
We do the best we can to simply survive the insanity of having kids.
