Lifetime who doesn’t love super nanny though?
@@rukaya2617 ikr!!!
Hi! Thanks for the love!! Subscribe for more Lifetime content!
@@rukaya2617 i just watch to see the kids go nuts.........................................lol
I love super saiyan nanny because when she says she is gonna help she does
Cameras make them feel in control.... but calls the nanny because they don't have control.... 🙄
Joanna Robinson these are my neighbors
@@millshernandez2472 lol aw thats cool, I hope they are good now
Exactly 💯
Joanna Robinson dude she’s had 200 episodes and hasn’t failed once don’t question her
@@Anthonyheat haha you read my comment wrong because I was not talking about the nanny. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I find it disturbing that the parents listened to the conversation but were not hearing what the kids were saying. They were automatically wanting to control what was being said. Super scary.
I was searching for tis comment. Why is no one talking about that. They where having a private conversation and even though they listened which is totally unacceptable. They didnt even listen to the childerens feelings.
Exactly this. They got defensive and prioritized avoiding blame, and shifting blame back onto their kids.
It's a lack of trust!! The kids know it. Poor Supernanny doing her job and being spied on!! 😡😡😡 Parents need to learn to listen!
People hate being wrong, especially parents.
@@colleenlang9250 so how would you deal with that for a lifetime?. As a child, how can you make your self healthy in an unhealthy environment?
They couldn't even give their kids time for a private conversation with Jo, they had to be listening in, that's extremely unhealthy
I think once you start observing it can get quite addicting
My mom used to record our phone conversations on tape, back when there were only landlines. As a kid, that really screws with your sense of privacy. These poor kids.
It's their kids and their house, they can do what they want
@@angelredbottom6837 you are obviously just as screwed up as them I'd hate to think how you were dragged up for you to think it's okay for a child not to have 1 second of private time
True, as soon as a parent crosses over to spying, they've damaged the relationship they could have built with that child.
These parents do not respect their children's individuality, no wonder they are rebellious.
Annabelle Rankin boy they’ll have a bunch of fun when they hit the teen years
@@snowbird1381 Definitely!
Annabelle Rankin or their privacy. Putting cameras in the bedroom? Really? 🤔
Very well said and i don´t understand why they are having so many kids if they are not going to dedicate their time to them so they can learn their feelings.
I don't understand people who have cameras all over their house. I can't imagine living in a house with no real privacy. It's like living in a prison.
Agreed🥀
Great for hackers to see everyone in that house too. It’s easy to get in, only if you have the right kind of security camera. Most people forget to change their passwords or don’t bother to
Prisons probably better!
Then again if I leave I leave my house and someone breaks in i'll want to be able to identify the perpetrator however to have cameras in your house because you can't trust your kids that not even over age 10 is a bit much
Heather Rose pnp
When the little boy said they hadn’t heard daddy laugh since his sister was 3 broke my heart 😢
Me to
1K like (sorry but I agree)
Sammeeee
Same
wAit when :(
The way that the kid at the end shouted “Freedom!” broke my heart.
Reminds me of braveheart. Freedom !
Oh....My...Gosh....Poor children.... Parents shouldn't control kids like that. They are humans too...This is horrible!
❤️😂❤️ it was great to see the kid smile!!
They had no freedom in the freedom country lol
I actually shed tears
“You’re not my real mother”
For that to come from a child so young shows how damaged they are..
I'm a step mom of a 2 year old. His mom is horrible an abandoned him. Comes back once in a blue moon. He has no idea who she is and he calls me mom. This is a fear of mine when he's older. Because it will break my heart if I heard him say that.
@@SavedError Don't worry, with a wonderful mother like you, your son is gonna be a great person. There will be a time where you have to tell him. I know it's gonna be very difficult. But for now you'll have to enjoy life with your son. Everything will be okay, remember that.
Sadly this is a common thing for stepchildren to say no matter the age.
Kay Zaine your sons “real mom” is the one who “really mothered” him and that’s going to be you, and no one will ever be able to take that from you.
I have a step mum and my brothers and sisters always says that to her and she's just giving us sweets and treats ALLLL the time for us to like her and she has depression so I know how hard it is for her
They are lucky they haven’t been hacked and someone else is watching them.
That was my concern too.
Let’s be honest, people probably have
Emma Clowes DR PHIL
So true.
They probably already have been hacked
Cameras in the playroom/basement ...ok...but in the bedrooms...not ok
angelak06 agreed. Cameras in the general and community areas of the house, but not bedrooms. My parents have a camera outside our bedrooms but it points down the hall and you can see movement in and out of the rooms and if anybody were to break in and go upstairs we would be able to see it. Cameras for safety, yes. Cameras to invade privacy, no. These parents were using cameras for their own self-reassurance. Their intentions to have a better grip on their children’s behavior makes sense, but it came from a place of desperation. No wonder they needed supernanny as bad as they did. I’m glad with some persuasion and new found knowledge Jo gave them, they were able to see their own wrongs and get rid of the cameras. Sometimes parents actions harm us than help us, this was one of those times.
@@chennykins1550 Cameras ANYWHERE inside is MASSIVE overreacting. Except baby monitors for actual babies
angelak06 I agree. Cameras in the house aren’t even a bad idea. My family had some growing up, in hallways and whatnot, and it actually benefited us in many ways! But bedrooms might be crossing the line for some people....
I have a baby monitor in my kids room they are 3 and 6 , they share. It's only on when they are meant to be sleeping to ensure the 3 year old stays in bed any time other than that is lazy parenting.
Did you see the one guy that hacked into a camera that was in a little girl's room? He was talking to her and telling her to break stuff and whatnot. Freaked her out heavily.
Cameras in the bedroom is a jailhouse. This is emotionally abusive to say the least. And if I were the therapist on this case they would be referred for parent education and counseling for them as parents.
Unhealthy. And I'm not sure CPS would be ok with this.
Very sad. But glad Jo got through.
I was gonna say the same thing.
Well I'm glad you're not my therapist, it all seems a bit drastic.
Your a tad bit over exaggerating there is nothing wrong with cameras in the kids room at this age.
@@kaylaa8092 yikes
There shouldn’t be cameras in a bedroom period it’s their bedroom if they have a problem with the kids behavior then take the door off don’t use cameras in their private area
I was appalled when I saw the cameras in the kids rooms, it's one thing to put a camera in a baby's room but another to put one in a growing girls/boys room. I actually find it disgusting
Oblivious Tomato they should have privacy to get dressed this so wrong! Yay Jo!!
Oblivious Tomato especially because they are a blended family and the step parent could watch the step kid get changed
We had cameras in our house because we had a warning that robbers were watching our street. I'm so glad that we put them in because we caught them on film when they broke in and got them arrested cuz one of them hit me with a wooden bat cuz I was still awake. Cameras can be a good thing but even with that past experience, I wouldn't allow cameras in my bedroom or any cameras that could see into my bedroom.
I completely agree!
Cameras outside not inside
It’s ok to have security cameras but having cameras in the bedrooms is nah
I agree
They can see when they're getting dressed ew
@@gracewallace9643 I'm pretty sure part of a parents job is to change their kids lol
Prxperty not when you're around the age of 10
Yeah I have one in my down stairs hallway and my front door and back door not in any of the bed rooms or bathroom they r private rooms :/
Who else is glad suppernanny is back!!!!!!!
Jessica Carter me!!
Jessica Carter yes!
Those kiddos for a start!

Maybe camera’s in the living room when the kids are playing when their little if it makes you feel a little better, and just in case anything happens. But I agree, in the bedrooms is just too much.
What if something happens in the bedrooms?🤔
Prxperty it’s *their* bedroom, you can just walk to the room, you don’t need cameras, they’re not gonna feel that they have privacy if they can’t do anything without being seen?
@@unavailabletoyounow bruh little kids aren't supposed to have privacy lol. They always have to be watched. If the parents are busy it's one way to look out for them
I get a camera up until you child is potty trained and can change by themselves without any help so like 5 ish but after that definitely not
@@raez9424 children also need to be taught how to have integrity whichi is doing right even when not being watched. Filming them shows them you don't think they are capable of earned trust or being trustworthy. If you think your children are in danger alone then supervise them directly so you can train them to be aware of their surroundings and safe. Cameras are a dangerous crutch.
I mean how do you have the audacity to spy on her, why she's making your life easier you shouldn't take her for granted
When these kids get older they really won’t like the cameras
If the cameras go back up, these kids won't be speaking to their parents when they are older.
It's gross you have cameras so when they get changed in the morning there is footage of them it's disgusting, disrespectful , controlling and degrading those poor kids everyone need personal alone time do they have cameras in their rooms so the kids can watch?! I think not! What if someone hacked into the cameras!
When they see this video they will hate their parents
Clary Hustles they did take them down but yeah definitely agree
I'd RIP the camera out of the ceiling
Oh, when the kids yelled "freedooom!" At the end... That's kinda sad
Children’s room?? That’s invading privacy. They change in there.
Baby Crafter Kennedy it’s their *parents* They Change their kids anyway it’s fine?
Scarey. Hope they have good security on those cameras. Can be hacked.
J x s s i c a H x r g r e a v e s having the kids changing on camera could get them charged for indecent exposure or something similar, and these home systems are very liable to being hacked
Kids have privacy? Since when?
Yep you have them changing and it could count as child pornography so...
'' Jeff, they are perfect. Just as they are" 💭
Yes! I love the way Jo Frost said that!
These two a creeps, they deserve each other, but poor kids. That woman can't stand his kids
I cant stand either parent. They deserve the stress and then some
@@ParentalDiscretionIsAdvised the kids don't though
They both belong in prison. If they love cameras soo much I bet that they would love prison lol
Jeez this was cringy...I have a blended family as well and there no way I thought spying would help my relationship with my stepson rather than just talking to him getting to know him.
Tonie Bembeh I have a stepson as well who’s about to be 3 and I totally agree with you! We had a baby monitor in his room for a while until recently but I can’t believe they had security cameras!!
Victoria Nicole it’s very inappropriate.
Tonie Bembeh agreed!
Right!! And these kids aren't babies, they are old enough to deserve their privacy!
The way Jo emphasizes that the kids already are perfect. i hope these kids will start hearing this from their parents soon enough.
I always love how respectful most kids are to Jo because she's treating them respectfully!
I think its a little hypocritical of the parents to say they installed cameras in the children's bedrooms so they could feel "in control" and hold their children accountable for bad behavior.....but then they called Jo in because they were having trouble controlling their kids and doing discipline. Where is the trust there? Its like they won't allow their children to be honest on their own and say what the problem is....they have to install cameras to make SURE they are telling the truth.
That is disgusting, I would never put cameras in my daughter's room
And sons, he need the same privacy
@@youyouu8 i think she said that bc she has a daughter.
"They are perfect. Just as they are!" That made me choke up
What an invasion of privacy. How can you teach children about privacy and the concept that their body is sacred to them and they have a right to protecting their bodies when you have cameras in their rooms. Whatever the reason for them, it sends the wrong message to their children.
When Jo says, “They ARE perfect,” is epic.
Kids need personal space in their bedrooms. That’s what they’re for - a private room for a child to go into when they want to be alone. Spying on them is just going to cause them to be more secretive and abrupt to the parents because they didn’t gain trust. Cameras as a whole is a stupid thing to me.
Did Jo just age backwards
skz that’s what I’m thinking!!!
IKR!
No deaged foward
Yup
might be a lil botox
Okay, I think camera are fine if they are used for security. I don't think cameras are necessary in the children's bedroom. If it was the living room, outside the house, or in a room containing valuables then I believe it should be fine. I wouldn't use it to spy on my children though.
The way the kids yelled freedom! Lets the parents know that they understand the invasion of of privacy even at such a young age. Don't underestimate your kids. 💜
Cameras in their kids rooms? That's SICK
Heather Rose How? It’s excessive but I feel like the adjective you chose there is just out of place
@@crissy4445 1. They are growing kids who most probably know about body parts 2. Hackers 3. It could count as child pornography if they have the children undressing on camera
@@crissy4445 I think they means as if disgusting
@@crissy4445 no. She’s right. It is sick, because they shouldn’t have cameras in the rooms of young children. A literal BABY! Sure. But not toddlers or older. Not only could hackers get into that and watch them changing, but their parents shouldn’t be able to either. It’s absolutely disgusting that they’d even think to put cameras up in there, I don’t care the reasoning.
"Geoff, they ARE perfect." -Jo.
Boom.
Wow! When Jo said to the parents "they are perfect" I wanted to stand up and cheer! Children are not automatons... they make mistakes, they act out but spying on them is not helpful. Playing, interacting, lounging around without tv or electronics... that's how you connect. Thanks Jo!
If I knew my parents had cameras all over the house, I'd run away to a friends house and stay there until my parents gave me my privacy. That is disgusting!!
I’d be like
Wise choice parents I want you to keep me protected
I love how she's unphased how she was heard because she doesn't fear that she said something wrong.
when jo said “they are perfect” that made me
want to cry
Less than 2 mins in and this stepmother is DISGUSTING. She’s a horrible person who cares more about herself than the kids.
M H you are a mean person smh
Flower Roo she only cared about her feelings and her experience when the kids were talking to Jo. You’re defending an abuser
D D you must be her. Again, only worried about yourself and not the kids
You think shes discusting ? Ur a joke my nephews mother abused her 2 sons at 4 weeks old babys she had them removed and now my self and my finance are bringing up her 2 children up beacouse shes a discusting person she still keeps having children that she knows will go in to care i now have to tell you do u still think this mother is discusting ?
@@angelmamma8635 you have abused punctuation. Ful stop.
They were spying on jo jo like that
Jo is aging beautifully 💜🧡❤️💚💜
Agreeeddd
XD
When the little ones said "Freedom" I felt so bad they must've felt like prisoners.
“Geoff! They ARE perfect....just as they are”. Love that!!!
As a 4 year old I used to tell my moms boyfriend repeatedly that he wasn’t my dad therefore I didn’t have to listen to him … one day he simply sat me down and said “I know, you have a dad and I’m not trying to be him or take his place” …and that has always stuck with me. He basically affirmed my confused feelings whilst also putting me in my place
Slightly different, but I had to go to therapy when I was 14 due to depression. My parents went with me, obviously, but they never went INTO the office during my sessions. Years later my mom told me she didn't because she knew that I would have never told my therapist what was wrong if my parents were in there. I genuinely hope these parents took Jo's advice after filming and understood that cameras IN their bedrooms (creepy to begin with) is a COMPLETE invasion of privacy.
I'm glad they took the cameras down. Imagine these kids when they started going through puberty soon and begin learning their bodies. That's far too invasive. I was monitored by my parents my whole life and had there been cameras in my room, I wouldn't have been able to cope once I reached my teen years.
*Has cameras in bed room*
StepDad! What are you doing!?!?
Sammy's_Space omg noooo😂
Are children no longer allowed basic privacy just because the technology is available?
It’s not healthy to live in such fear that “something might happen”.
Cameras for security, fine. But to watch the kids playing to make sure they are behaving and whatnot? No. The kids get dressed in their rooms and whatnot. There was just a story about a family putting a camera in their daughter's bedrooms and some guy hacked into it. That is not okay. Sure, when the kids are telling two different stories and it is difficult to tell which is telling the truth, it might seem convenient to just play it back but come on, talk to your kids and figure out the best way to deal with the issue without the cameras.
YESSSS THE QUEEN IS BACK YOUNGER THAN EVER
She doesn't age.
I just want to say that although those parents might’ve been making the wrong decisions they were so open to the criticism of their wrongdoings and that’s the true blessing here it’s not what they have done wrong it’s what they’re willing to change to do right so amen to you parents and Jo thank you for being so calm cool and collected about it and not stifling them it was a great example of what they should give their children!
The producers when they heard about this family: oh, great we won't need to install cameras to film this episode
😂😂😂😂
Super nanny is so pretty! So much respect for her parenting techniques that I will be using with my daughter!
My family has cameras at our house, but it’s only in the loft area and outside facing away in case someone is coming up. But having one IN A BEDROOM? That’s crossing a clear line. 🤦♀️
what about when they get older???? are they seriously still gonna have the cameras in their rooms cause that’s like totally wrong
Maggie Sutphin ikr I would feel so genuinely bad for them and if they have friends the go to their house and they realize they have cameras the friends will probably not even want to hangout or sleepover at the least
I'm not sure they thought about it like that. This is what happens when parents get desperate and technology is available these days :/ I'm glad Jo stepped in to bring things back to focus and say "This is creepy and there is another way."
Rachel A. Yup
I would just cover the cameras up with a blanket 😂
Praying for these kids when they’re teenagers
The practise of having cameras in children's bedrooms is insidious and vile. For one thing it's a crutch, not a genuine parenting tool. For another thing, it creates various violations of privacy. Good for JoJo for putting a stop to that ✅
JO IS SO STUNNING ok bye
My friend had a blended family with cameras all over the house and she and her siblings were definitely harmed rather than helped by these devices. All it taught them was to find blindspots and be sneaky, not to behave better.
Maaaaan remember watching this 😂😂😭😭😭i was little saying “i could neva”
Kids need to be able to trust their parents.
Gosh cameras should NOT be in bedrooms or bathrooms or anything. Since they record everything, someone could hack them and see children changing ect. It’s an invasion of privacy
Being consistent with the rules and discipline and not giving up when it gets rough has many rewards. Paying attention to your children and giving of your time to them has many rewards as well.
my mom told me when I was younger that she had hidden cameras everywhere, and I've been so paranoid my whole life, even now that I'm 20 and moved out
I am so sorry. I hope you will soon start feeling unwatched and free
Luki LilCinnaroll Same here. My dad set up a camera in mine and my brothers room. And him and my mum always used to say that they had eyes and ears everywhere. Made me so paranoid that when I went in the bath or shower I would wear a swimsuit. It got so bad at one point that I would only go to the toilet at school
@@bewitched5717 I can imagine that, I'm sorry for you. 🙂
Oh my god, cameras in the bedrooms 😵 That’s crazy and not normal. Fair enough if they’re in babies rooms and in the public spaces, but in the bedrooms is insane.
The cameras have virtue in theory. They provide a record for safety. But what they dont realize is ultimately it will cause the parents to become observers rather than participants in the family's life.
and also theres the issue of privacy, which can grow into a major issue in the later years
I just love Jo's honesty. No BS from her!
That's a TOTAL invasion of privacy ew 😧
The nannycam ? A parent has EVERY RIGHT to know what another adult is telling THEIR child in their own home.
she was not TELLING them anything.. She was LISTENING to them.. BIG difference. Shame you could not see it.
@@mariahoulihan9483these people are so abusive it’s crazy. Sorry we see kids as human beings?
can we just mention how great Jo looks even after dealing with crazy family’s for the past decade?
I find it disturbing that they were listening to Jo and the kids conversation and heart breaking that they pushed the kids feelings aside because it was an “excuse” for misbehaving and they can’t own up to the fact that they’re control freaks.
When he said we wanna make them perfect and joe said... they are perfect ... that makes me tear up! She is such a magical woman soooooo intuitive with children
O my god, cameras in children's bedrooms 😯🤪 so bad.
Uhm idk if you think it’s bad or good *idk if it was sarcasm* but people can hack into their security cameras and see them change
can we just appreciate Jo's GLOW UP
So kids have no privacy in the home🙄😒
It is truly amazing that mankind has survived the 3 million years on earth that we have. I have never seen such cowardly adults who have allowed their homes to be turned into battle grounds. And then, they have another child.
“We’re trying to make them perfect” “this is the only way I feel in control” an example of people who should not have had children
Jo is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! She’s glowing ❤️ love this woman.
Imagine when the kids become teenagers, how would they feel about the cameras? Smh
Thanks for likes lol
Parents like that never fully stop
I think the fact that the mothers first words were “no mention of the disrespect” shows she truly doesn’t care. She doesn’t care that the children she CHOSE to be a mother to are hurting and that they feel like they are “bad” children. She obviously didn’t want them to say something incriminating against her. If she had nothing to hide she wouldn’t have said that. She would have listened and taken a look at what she’s doing. She didn’t. It was all about control for her and that she has things to hide, as well as searching for them to worship her rather than be honest.
Who just loves Supernanny
Firat K me
Me
we have a few cameras outside and in general areas but cameras in the bedroom is absolutely crazy
THANK GAWD for supernanny!! What would these parents be without her!
All those cameras and they’re still having problems as a family unit 🤷🏾♀️
I hope after this experience, the parents were able to make progress connecting with their kids
My room is my space. It gives my privacy and I place to escape the world. Having cameras in their bedrooms is not okay.
When she said they dont even have cameras in prison cells. Bahhahaha
The vive i get from the cameras is entirely one of the mom not trusting her husbands kids to be decent to her kids.
To have cameras in your children’s bedrooms is just disgusting, they get no privacy at all 🤦🏻♀️ learn to build trust with your kids not treat them like inmates
I love super nanny, watched many of her shows. ❣️
Jo has a soft but firm way to have parents be accountable, event better to ‘want’ to change...
I understand cameras in your house but not the bedrooms that’s creepy!
Cameras in their bedroom!!! Disgusting! Do you know they can get hacked and some pervert can watch your children
Ok but let’s all take a step back and appreciate that they took the cameras down. They owned their mistake and want to fix it. That takes a lot of strength and courage to admit when you are wrong and fix the problem.
The mother is a control freak. She had a frightening energy.
Use a chancla that always work xD
The best lesson I've learned in my three years of therapy is that, regardless of what you are feeling, whether it's wrong or unkind, it's important and it matters and, by not listening to these kids and controlling them, they're sabotaging their own children!
