Yes I had the same exact thought. He was kind, patient, supportive. He never raised his voice & always talked things through. He taught Ivan self control. The wife Karen just threw him under the bus immediately when his mum came.
I think at some point in our lives we all were trouble teens I know I was and man was I a terror but looking back at it now I'm a much more nicer guy than I was back then and I owe it all to my parents
My parents were the same way I’m 20 moved out last year and I respect them fully for it cause in someone else’s household you wouldn’t want someone to run your house
Correction: you don't have "kids" anymore you have young adults living with you now. They don't have school nights anymore they are all fricken adults, and probably in uni. It baffles me these parents have this much control.
Their “kids” are obedient, not mature. They’ve been so controlled & sheltered that they don’t act their age. They act like Ivan’s age (15). Do they even go to university? The mum said her daughter worked “the night shift” but she may have just meant that the daughter keeps an eye out when mum is gone. I wouldn’t be surprised if they all go to community college & live home.
I just don’t understand how the parents on this show expect the kids that smoke to go cold turkey without nicotine gum/patches. It’s a real addiction and most people can’t just do that
Production probably encourages parents to include it in the house rules because them going through withdrawal would be good drama for the show…messed up
The mum has serious control issues. She needs to put herself in therapy. Anyone else notice she wouldn't allow Britney to wear her piercings yet her own daughter had several ear piercings?! Like what the eff.

She said she works graveyard so obviously that's why she was sleeping during the day. She also asked her son how school was so assuming that's college.
Mad respect, your totally right, I mean for her age she should know they can't quite cold turkey , they should have nicotine patches / gum or something idk why she is so clueless
The fact that, at the time, their youngest kid was 18 and wasn't allowed to be on the phone past 9 is insane Edit: Damn. I never expected over 1K likes. Thanks, guys🙂
I actually would enjoy these house rules knowing what adulthood brings!!! Whew when I was told Not to rush to be an adult it will come soon enough....TRUTH!!!!!
@@DDCT11 yea but we say that after being properly integrated socially and mentally into adulthood at the same rate as our peers . Me personally I know this NOW . My mom did the same thing and it felt like my entire 20s i was playing catch up . I was 20 but socially 17 . i mean the older i got it leveled out however it’s horrible to hold your kids back .
i find it crazy how there is 0 mutual respect. like no privacy seriously!? walking in while he's in the shower 🤨this is absolutely crazy. they are nice people but these rules ...
I know this was from two months ago but I just want to say I agree with you because it could close up and they paid good money for that and it’s not distracting it’s just how they want to express Themselves
It really bugs me these parents use fear and stress with their defence being that if you don’t give kids consequences they will grow up troubled because they don’t know any better. However, they refuse to mention the fact that kids only know what they are taught, so the idea they don’t understand the consequences of their actions is completely the parents fault. Because of just how they talk and treat the teens I think they are probably the worst type of parents… narcissists! Parents that pretend they care, but in reality it’s all about tripping their own ego as they make their children miserable and submissive. It’s no wonder this episode took so long to be posted on RU-vid considering these parents are garbage.
It doesn’t even help because all they’re teaching their straight edge kids is either to be sneaky, or to be walked all over in adulthood. When kids don’t have any control their parent list gets replaced with their boss and they follow orders to a T even when they’re being taken advantage of..this video is so old so I wonder how their kids are now but there’s no development of self confidence or control.
I understand the parents don’t want the kids to be smoking but half of these families don’t seem to understand that going cold turkey with no preparation or warning for these kids is hard-
Why wouldn’t the parents dust their rooms before having them stay?? That’s kind of gross…. Did they let it build up that much just so when the kids didn’t dust properly (as I assume they’d expect) there would be enough dust for the father to run his finger over & reveal the extent of it.
18, 19 and 21 are YOUNG ADULTS!!! I really hope this is an act for the cameras and they don’t treat them like actual children. No privacy? 8/9p curfew? Cells phones taken away? That’s absurd. Eventually they will be able to move out and I guarantee they will do it as soon as they can.
Seeing how Ivan didn’t have his dad around, it helps to see that there are other teenagers from this series who didn’t have one of their parents. That’s got to be hard on them seeing many others who have both their parents. Edit: just heard Brittany didn’t have her Dad around
THings like parents dying or divorce can often create these situations. If it happens when the kid is in the 5-11 age range the kids can feel guilty or ashamed that their parent(s) are dead or separated. Plus the remaining parents/carers will often parent from guilt, giving the kid whatever they want because they feel bad.
I'm growing without my dad. Not his fault, he died. I get in so much trouble at school tho and have serious problems with authority figures. I just can't keep on the straight and narrow
Parents "There is no privacy in this house". Really? The parents leave their bedroom door open all the time then? They watch each other in the bathroom?
I’m sorry, all three of their kids are legally adults, and they’re STILL subject to rules *that* strict? I’m shocked they still live there at all, but to continue to treat them like young teenagers is crazy to me.
Well, as long as they choose to stay in their parents house, they have to abide by their parents rules. If it doesn’t bother damn, why does it bother you??
If Brittany can't have piercings, then why does the mom and the oldest daughter have piercings?! The mom has her ears pierced but Brittany can't? That's not fair!
Has anyone ever thought about maybe having some of these parents checked out... some of them act like there's underlying problems that makes them so neurotic ?
Ego and criticism and lack of exceptance of others for who they are is what is causing the problems in our world 🌎 today and if we can let go of the way of thinking or being we can evolve as better beings who honestly care for each other and most of all our planet 🌎 😊
The fact that these parents are so delusional, when he said, I am going to torch your whole house down if I say that my mom would already be like OK, then do it❤😂
