Did anyone else see the Supernanny episode where the two older girls basically had to parent 3 little boys by themselves all day, and basically do all the housework, and try to homeschool themselves at the same time, while mom and dad were gone all day? It was kind of sad. I know it could be tempting to respond to this by saying, "Well, my kids do chores," but believe me this was on beyond a reasonable amount of chores. Someone on another message board said, "What is the difference between them and the Duggars?" But I would say there is a lot. At least Michelle is there WITH her kids during the day, and the chores are divided between a large number of kids, not just two, and they do, I think get time to do their own schoolwork. These girls were finding it almost impossible to get their own schoolwork done. The girls' names were Brittany and Moriah, and the family's last name was Chapman.
