My Weird and Wonderful family- C4 now.

[Dris]

I like them and think that the kids are are probably more aware and grounded than children of a heterosexual wealthy family.

I have doubts though but its not to do with the parents being 2 fellas.

What do you think if you have been watching it?

[Dris]

Ive just checked boxy -hey I didnt half make up the words did I ?
Least I knew what i was meaning to say lol
Geordie -catcha x
ummm -totally agree -I was amazed at how grounded the kids were (shamefully as I didnt expect it)

[Captin Kirk]

children do not need a mother or need a father but it makes a difference if they have both to only having one.

[joeluke]

They used their wealth to buy children, who are growing up thinking that having a 'dad' and a 'daddy' is normal

The children will be teased about their 'parents' throughout their adolescent lives and also into their adult lives

[jackthehat]

The kids doing the 'teasing', joeluke, are likely to have been brought up in households where views like your prevail...........

[Dris]

Could be worse Joe -they could have landed with someone like Karen Matthews for a 'mother'.

I dont think people are anywhere near as prejudiced nowadays.

[Bobbisox]

the 3 sets of parents at the posh school, disgusted me with their stupid attitudes!

[joeluke]

Jth........don't you mean normal households?

[jackthehat]

Is it normal to leave your children and their mother and take up with a woman you've met over the internet and start another family ?

Is that the sort of thing you mean...............?

[Bobbisox]

whats a normal household joe?
there's a hell of a lot of single mums out here...and dads

[joeluke]

Jth........I live with girlfriend and our son.........my other 2 kids live with their mother and her boyfriend

Normal

[jackthehat]

If it makes you feel better to think so, joeluke..............I understand how fragile, and how very important to you, your self-image is.

I didn't watch the programme but saw the advert and thought what a great attitude for a young child to have. When he mentions a kid called him gay and his reply was 'does it matter?'

I would loved to have been that secure in myself at that age to not want to follow what or who was 'cool' and have my own voice.

[Ric.ror]

It could have been even worse Driss and they could have ended with Princess Diana for a mum - I suspect Karen Matthews spent more time with her kids in one year than the Queen of Hearts ever did.
I am gutted I missed the programme as I have watched these two guys since they embarked on this journey
Is it on again

[Greedyfly]

It will be, EVERYTHING is repeated these days. If it was on channel 4 it will go onto more 4 soon enough.

Not sure about wonderful, it was weird! Couldn't take to those two "parents" The kids were ok but must feel confused about the whole setup! Spoiling them isn't going to make up for them not having a mum! The little girl getting 37 dresses and she was less feminine then the boys!

[Dris]

Ric-Ror -you'll get it on 4OD (its a pity Matthews did spend so much time with her children but thats just my opinion)

Oscarina -that was my main concern but wealthy hetero couples are the same,I thought Saffy was brilliant and DIDNT fit into the stereotype that I even expected much to my shame.I thought she would have been a precosious princess but no she had a mind of her own.
A delighful family the guys should rightly be proud of. !!
