World's Strictest Parents

[cak1207]

Has anyone watched this? I found it yesterday on CMT. I was wondering what anyone else thought of it?

Watch part of one on the CMT site... Couldn't manage more because the strict parents were engaging in too much hypocracy for my comfort.

I saw one episode a while ago and honestly there is no way kids change their behavior after only one week working on a farm....I don't buy it.

Yeah, I'd like to see updates about the kids.

I like the concept, but I don't think they're pulling it off very well. No way that the kids change after just a week, no way.

I really really enjoyed Brat Camp when it was on a few years ago and keep hoping they'll bring something like that back, but so far no dice

i love troubled teens... really i do... and these teens aren't that troubled... and the ones that are don't change after a week. i am very very good with troubled teens and generally see results faster then most (having been one myself and all) and after a week i may be able to find out quite a bit about them but i change takes time. i don't understand why a week on a farm is supposed to change a kid.

fwiw they are using kids that arent really out of control. these kids need parents with more of a back bone. they are spoiled rotten not troubled. its annoying b/c it makes it look like it actually work. i have a few kids i would love to recommend to the show. but the parents seem to like their houses and their cars and would miss them if someone disassembled all of their electronics and their cars while they were sleeping and sold them for parts on ebay before they even woke up in the morning.

they might also not like it if someone stole their car and their ID to buy a pack of cigarettes since the parents took the ones the brought. they probably also don't want the kids sneaking into each other rooms and having more fun then most of the people in the house have had in years... and with some kids i know thats a total possibility.

they leave them alone all the time .. around windows and out in fields.. every kid i know who qualifies as a troubled teen would get arrested 5 times over before the end of the week.
