Well, it's no garbage cans talking trash to each other, but it'll do ;-)

dads are just stoners with better credit and better kempt facial hair.

did someone call for some A.R.S. ??????

This is about as comprehensible as Kinja.

I have found that too. " my daughter was bit by a spider and her arm looks like *shows terrifying picture* what oil should I use?" USE OIL OF EMERGENCY ROOM NUTJOB. However I have found them to be a game changer for calming my rowdy children. I like Young Living brand. I use them every day.

sex is healthy and normal

yes! she does have a little bit of a fairuza balk stare going on there.

The one in the middle is trying to set fires with her mind.

THE PHONE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

They are the super sex positive parents. In the commercial for this show you see the daughter coloring a picture of a uterus and mom says, "Sex is just a hug with your genitals!"

Clearly, the producers avoided actual, "Call Child Protective Services"-level controversy by not including a Duggar-esque blanket training Michael and Debbie Pearl following family. For a second I thought the "warrior children" one was gonna be it until I realized they meant plank-the-exercise as punishment, not…

This is the problem I'm having here.

Everyone in the Brooks family looks like they want to die.

Obviously they framed this for maximum exploitation but it could be interesting. I'm also kind of curious because the range of kids' ages is so wide too and the sustainability of certain parenting choices could be cool to see.

In real world practice I am usually against "mommy" or parent shaming, but I admit at the end of some rough preschooler and newborn days it is such a relief to kick back and watch a show like this to judge these crazy folks and think, "Hey, I guess I'm not doing too bad." Shaking my head at self. Sigh.

Nah, these are the people who think they are so special that their methods need to be on TV. Most of us are just trying to through the day and not screw up too badly. For instance, the body positive people - not sure what that would involve unless it is code for nudity. I don't talk about diets, weight, etc with my…

but at least one of those problems won't be "You propped me up on a tv show about how fucking crazy you are. "

Honestly, I don't think it should be legal for children to be on reality shows. It is a hell of an invasion of privacy and it does not constitute a "normal" environment for their development, and most important of all, they cannot consent to it. They are being exploited by their attention-whore, money-grabbing parents…

These people are all screwing their kids up big-time. Isn't that what parenting is, though? Ask my son in 25 years, I promise you he'll blame his father and me (mostly me though, amirite?) for all his problems.
