What a crappy show. I can't believe people trust a total stranger and let their children cry like that. You know what, if you still want to put yourself before your children, then don't have any. Why make them suffer because of your selfishness.

Ugh, poor babies.

If the parents would have had their kids in a normal bedtime routine and had discipline in place in their home in the first place then the poor babies wouldn't have cried. That's what so many people just don't understand. Obviously the way things were going just wasn't working so why not bring in someone who has a clue. I think it is much harder on the parents, once they've created such a problem, than it is the kids.

I shudder to think how many poor kids go through this wretched routine at bedtime - where NO ONE gets any sleep. That helps no one. This show, like all the other nanny shows, points out a routine that should have already been in place.

A routine could have been established w/out taking the children out of their parents bed and traumatizing them more.

It's such a shame that people and parents don't realize the effects that sleep deprivation has on children and their development. Keeping your children in your bed is for your own selfish reasons and certainly not in the best interest for the children. How are we going to raise independent children in this nation when we can't even teach them to sleep by themselves!!!! Nanny Emma gave these children independence, a sense of security (children need to find it within themselves at times as you can't always be there) and sense of accomplishment.
