Did anyone watch this?

This is the show that the producer asked on here for single parents last year. I heard it on the radio to start last night, and couldn't wait to watch it. Already they are arguing and personalities clashing lol A couple are being really two faced as well, IMO One of the mum's was meant to be watching the children, and she just sat on the steps smoking whilst the 12 children ran wild, and were scaring the chickens! Rightly so some of the parents went mad when they found the children in the chicken coop! I'd have hit to roof pmsl

I think I'll be watching this just to see how it changes people. Im not sure how in the long run it will help the mum's because once its over they wont have that support network again so will find it difficult to keep up with the new routines. Im not sure if its just on once a week, but it was on BBC3 last night (Monday) at 9pm.

I saw some of it but not the bit with the chickens. I didn't think that they would be allowed to smoke anywhere near the kids at all.

The rules are set by the leader for that time (they get 4 days each). I dont think they are allowed to smoke in the house, but obviously nothing was set for outside. Maybe different parents will change the smoking rules when they take lead! I wouldnt stand for all that swearing with my child around!

I forget the names, but the one thing that got my back up was the lesbian girl. She said she didnt want to take her young daughter to see the fireworks incase they scare her (fair enough) and they had a major arguement about it, and about how it was dividing the group because some parents wouldnt go some would. The next day the leader went to apologise to her (mid morning) and the lass started arguing back saying she had her daughters intrest at heart and she wasnt going to have anyone tell her otherwise blah blah... she was in bed asleep while her young daughter was still in her pj's, awake, in her cot!!! Grrrrrr

I missed this last night due to the final of 'Breaking into Tescos' on at the same time.. but this kind of programme i find really interesting, especially as i remember them looking for people to take part in off here!
I will be watching next week though.
